A solution that is 0.20 m in hcho2 and 0.15 m in nacho2 find ph

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.

What is the pH of a solution with [H+]=6.2x10-9 M?
Serga [27]

Answer: 8.2

Explanation:

pH of a solution is  - Log [ H+].

pH = - Log [ 6.2 x 10-9 M]

     = 9 - 0.7924

pH =  8.24 approx 8.2

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

Which is a property that Mendeleev predicted for gallium (Ga)?
kompoz [17]
The correct option is B.
Mendeleev was the one who originated the idea of arranging elements in the periodic table according to their chemical and physical properties. He left spaces in the periodic table and predicted the discovery of those elements that had not been discovered then. One of these elements is Gallium. He predicted that gallium is going to be a metal and he gave the properties that the element will possess. He also predicted that the element gallium will be placed under aluminium in the periodic table.

Air is made of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. What is the pressure of O₂, total is 1 atm if PN₂ = 5
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The pressure of O₂ is 0.8 atm.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

In this case:

PT=Pnitrogen + Pcarbon dioxide + Pother gases

Being:

  • Pnitrogen: 593.4 mmHg
  • Pcarbon dioxide: 3 mmHg
  • Pother gases: 7.1 mmHg

and replacing:

PT= 593.4 mmHg + 3 mmHg + 7.1 mmHg

you get:

PT= 603.5 mmHg

Being 760 mmHg= 1 atm, you get:

PT= 603.5 mmHg= 0.8 atm

<u><em>The pressure of O₂ is 0.8 atm.</em></u>
