How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

Chemistry

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
 
  HA <=> H^+ + A^-
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A^-) 

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (A^-) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.

The product of a Lewis acid-base reaction is a(n) __________, a single species that contains a new covalent bond. The Lewis acid
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Adduct, donate, accept

Explanation:

Lewis acids are those having suitable vacant orbital for electron acceptance and forming a covalent bond with an electron rich species. Example: BCl_{3} (B has vacant 2p orbital for electron acceptance)

Lewis bases are those having energetically available unshared electrons that can be donated to an electron deficient species and form a covalent bond. Example: NH_{3} (N has energetically available lone pair)

So, product of Lewis acid-base reaction is an adduct (BCl_{3}-NH_{3}) where a new covalent bond is formed between B and N.

Is condensation of ethanol a physical change or a chemical change
tigry1 [53]

Answer: Physical change

Explanation: Condensation is the phase change of a gas to the liquid state. There is no formation of new products so it does not undergoes chemical change. Any phase change is considered a physical change.

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.

Explanation:

A copper refinery produces a copper ingot weighing 150 lb. If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 9.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. (Assume that the wire is a cylinder whose volume is V = πr2h, where r is the radius and h is its height or length.)

Step 1: Convert lb to kg

150 lb = 68.0389 kg

Step 2: Calculate volume of copper

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 68038.9 grams / 8.94 g/cm³

Volume = 7610.6 cm³ Cu

Step 3: Calculate length of wire

The diameter of the wire is 9.50 mm, so the radius is half of that (4.75 mm), or 0.475 cm.

The total "volume" of the wire is πr²h = (π)*(0.475 cm)²(h) = 0.708h = 7610 cm^3

7610 = 0.708h

h = 10749 cm = length of wire

The length of the wire = 352.66 feet.

Watching the way clouds move in the sky would most likely provide helpful information on which characteristic of the weather?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

By watching the movement of cirrus clouds you can tell from which direction weather is approaching. When you see cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a change in the weather will occur within 24 hours. Cirrostratus clouds are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky.
