We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

If 100.0g of nitrogen is reacted with 100.0g of hydrogen, what is the theoretical yield of the reaction? What is the excess reac
Shkiper50 [21]

theoretical yield of ammonia (NH₃) = 121.38 g

The limiting reactant is nitrogen (N₂) and the excess reactant is hydrogen (H₂).

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction in which nitrogen react with hydrogen to produce ammonia:

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

Now we need to calculate the number of moles of each reactant:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of N₂ = 100 / 28 = 3.57 moles

number of moles of H₂ = 100 / 2 = 50 moles

We see from the chemical reaction that 3 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of N₂ so 50 moles of H₂ react with 16.67 moles of N₂ which is way more than the available N₂ quantity of 3.57 moles, so the limiting reactant is nitrogen (N₂) and the excess reactant is hydrogen (H₂).

Knowing this we devise the following reasoning:

if                1 mole of N₂ produces 2 moles of NH₃

then   3.57 moles of N₂ produces X moles of NH₃

X = (3.57 × 2) / 1 = 7.14 moles of NH₃

mass =  number of moles × molar weight

mass of NH₃ = 7.14 × 17 = 121.38 g (theoretical yield)

Explain where the weight of an atom is found what is responsible for that weight and why
padilas [110]

Answer:

The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.
