Explanation:
Elements in the same group have same number of valence electrons. And we know, the elements which have same number of valence electrons, have similar physical and chemical properties. Hence, the elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Did you mean the atomic mass?
hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Explanation:
this is because they are non metals and there will be sharing of electrons between the two atoms forming the bond
Answer:
C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy
Explanation:
Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.
The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.
Answer:
Explanation:
The usefulness of a buffer is its ability to resist changes in pH when small quantities of base or acid are added to it. This ability is the consequence of having both the conjugate base and the weak acid present in solution which will consume the added base or acid.
This capacity is lost if the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of weak acid differ by an order of magnitude. Since buffers having ratios differing by more will have their pH driven by either the weak acid or its conjugate base .
From the Henderson-Hasselbach equation we have that
pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]
thus
0.1 ≤ [A⁻]/[HA] ≤ 10
Therefore the log of this range is -1 to 1, and the pH will have a useful range of within +/- 1 the pKa of the buffer.
Now we are equipped to answer our question:
pH range = 3.9 +/- 1 = 2.9 through 4.9
