This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid). 

Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L

Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M

Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48

Explain with examples following characteristics of chemical reactions: a. Change of colour b. Evolution of gas c. Change of smel
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. change of colour:

A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. The products have different molecular structures than the reactants. Different atoms and molecules radiate different colours of light. Hence, there usually is a change in colour during a chemical reaction.

Eg: copper reactions with the elements

b. Evolution of gas:

A gas evolution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one of the end products is a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide.

Eg: ammonium hydroxide breaks down to water and ammonia gas.

c. Change of smell :

Production of an Odor Some chemical changes produce new smells.  ... The formation of gas bubbles is another indicator that a chemical change may have occured.

Eg: The chemical change that occurs when an egg is rotting produces the smell of sulfur.

d. Change of state:

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also called reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, known as products.

Eg: candle wax (solid) melts initially to produce molten wax (liquid)

question if the following elements were involved in a chemical reaction, which one would be most likely to form a cation? respon
Serjik [45]

Fluorine (F) would be least likely to form a cation out of potassium, fluorine, chlorine, and nitrogen.

  • A cation is a positively charged atom (or molecule) that has lost electrons (or electrons).
  • The tendency for electropositive elements to lose electrons and produce cations is greater. On the left side of the periodic table, these are often metals.
  • Going down a group increases electropositivity, or the propensity to lose electrons and generate cations. and decreases across a period. In the given examples:
  • Potassium, K is an alkali metal and will lose electrons readily to form a cation.
  • Nitrogen (N), Fluorine (F), and chlorine (Cl) are all nonmetals that prefer to accept electrons and form anions instead. F is the most electronegative i.e. it will gain electrons and form F- rather than F+.

Why was the theory of the atom so controversial back in the early 1900’s
Anastaziya [24]
Some people weren't convinced with the theory. Also many people tried to prove that the atom didn't exist, or at least prove the theory wrong.
