Answer is: this is an example of an Arrhenius acid.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons (H⁺).

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
In this example lithium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base:

LiOH(aq) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

"How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"

Andru [333]

Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

Moles NH₃

2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃

H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

<h3>245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH</h3>

What is the change in density if a sample goes from 3.21 g/L to 5.43 g/mL?

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$\Delta \rho =2.22 g/mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since a change in science is widely known to be considered as a subtraction between the the final and initial values of two measured variables and is represented via Δ, here the final density is 5.43 g/mL and the initial one was 3.21 g/mL, therefore, the change in density is:

$\Delta \rho=\rho _f-\rho _i\\ \\\Delta \rho=5.43g/mL-3.21g/mL\\\\\Delta \rho =2.22 g/mL$

Best regards.

*WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST*

denis-greek [22]

Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
