Answer:
Answer is 'B' I think
Explanation:
Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Through previous experiments of shooting alpha particles, Rutherford knew they had considerable mass and speed.
Answer:
- <em>(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.</em>
- <em>(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. </em>
- <em>(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.</em>
Explanation:
A buffer is solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.
The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.
NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
