Why is water displacement an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid?

Explanation:

As it is known that volume of an irregular object cannot be measured because we cannot measure the volume of a curve.

As a result, if we immerse an irregular solid object into a beaker or container filled with water then the volume of water displaced by the object will be equal to the volume of object itself.

Hence, we get to know the volume of irregular solid object by doing so that is why, water displacement is an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid.

Water displamement is effective because there is no way to get an exact and accurate measurement of an irregular solid because you can't measure curved line. Water displamement gives you a proper, exact, and accurate answer.

You are asked to prepare 500. mL of a 0.200 M acetate buffer at pH 5.10 using only pure acetic acid (MW=60.05 g/mol, pKa=4.76),
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. 6.005 g

2. 22.9 mL

3. Until the mixtures becomes homogeneous.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution where a weak acid is in equilibrium with its conjugate base (its anion) or a weak base is in equilibrium with its conjugate base (its cation). The buffer remains the pH almost unaltered because it shifts the equilibrium if an acid or base is added.

1. The pH of a buffer can be calculated by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

Where [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (the anion) of the acid, and HA is the acid concentration.

5.10 = 4.76 + log[A⁻]/[HA]

log[A⁻]/[HA] = 5.10 - 4.76

log[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.34

[A⁻]/[HA] = 10^{0.34}

[A⁻]/[HA] = 2.1878

Because the volume is the same, we can replace the concentration by the number of moles (n):

nA⁻/nHA = 2.1878

nA⁻ = 2.1878*nHA

The total number of moles of the substances in the buffer is: 0.200 mol/L * 0.5 L = 0.1 mol

nA⁻ + nHA = 0.1

2.1878*nHA + n HA = 0.1

3.1878nHA = 0.1

nHA = 0.0314 mol

nA⁻ = 0.0686 mol

The total number of moles of acetic acid needed is 0.1 mol (both substances may be from it):

m = MW*mol

m = 60.05*0.1 = 6.005 g

2. NaOH must react with acetic acid to form the anion, so for a 1:1 reaction, it will be needed 0.0686 mol of NaOH:

V = mol/concentration

V = 0.0686/3

V = 0.0229 L = 22.9 mL

3. The buffer must be a homogeneous solution, it means that it can't be noticed phases in the buffer, so the flask must be inverted until all the buffer is diluted in water, and it will be noticed when the solution becomes homogenous.

If the pOH of a nitric acid (HNO3) solution is measured as 11, what is the concentration of HNO3 solution?
Illusion [34]

1 gram of HNO3 will be equal to 1/63.01 moles. Therefore, we can say that 1 liter of Nitric acid contains 15.6976 moles or in other words molarity of 70% (w/w) Nitric acid is equal to 15.6976 M.

Known values  

Molecular weight of HNO3 63.01 g/mole

Concentration of Nitric acid 70% (% by mass, wt/wt)
