Which of these equations is balanced? a. H2SO4 + 2Al → Al2(SO4)3 + H2 b. 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2

The answer is B, you just check if it is the same on the left and right side

A:
Left side - Right side
2xH - 2xH
1xS - 3xS
4xO - 12xO
2xAl - 2xAl

Therefore A is not correct

B:
Left side - right side
2xK - 2xK
1xCl - 1xCl
1xPb - 1xPb
2xN - 2xN
6xO - 6xO

B is therefore correct as both sides add up

A is not, left side has too little SO4
v is correct, it is balanced, just make sure the elements of each side are the same

Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76. What is the concentration of acetic acid in a buffer solution of 0.2M at pH 4.9.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

0.084 M

Explanation:

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer ( a buffer is solution contain a weak acid and it conjugate base; the solution resist change in pH)

pH = pKa + log ( base/acid)

4.9 - 4.76 =log ( base / acid)

10^0.14 = ( base / acid)

1.38 = (base / acid)

since there is 0.2 M in the buffer solution

the concentration of acid = $\frac{1}{(1+1.38)}$ × 0.2 = 0.084 M
