Answer:

(C) arsenious acid, Ka = 6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

A buffer is prepared by a weak acid and the conjugate base coming from its salt. Its function is to resist abrupt changes in pH when an acid or a base are added. The best working range of a buffer is in the range of pKa ± 1. Let's consider the 5 options and their pKa (pKa = -log Ka).

(A) phthalic acid, K1 = 1.3 x 10⁻³ (1st ionization)     pKa = 2.9

(B) hydrogen phthalate, K2 = 3.9 x 10⁻⁵                pKa = 4.4

(C) arsenious acid, Ka = 6 x 10⁻¹⁰                           pKa = 9

(D) formic acid, Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵                               pKa = 4.7

(E) phenol, Ka = 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁰                                      pKa = 9.8

The acid whose pKa is closer to the desired pH is arsenious acid. Its working range of pH is 8 - 10. In the second place, phenol could work as a buffer system since the working pH range is 8.8 - 10.8.

When might neutralization reactions be used in a laboratory setting?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Neutralization reactions can be used in a laboratory setting in order t<span>o dispose of chemicals. When spills happens, for instance an acid is on the floor, you can use a base to neutralize the spill. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Pls help me !!!! Is for chemistry
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Molarity of the solution is (0.50/0.75)x1 = 0.66666 Mol/L

2) Molar mass of NaCl is 23+35 = 58g

Molarity = (0.5/58)/0.075 = 0.115 Mol/L

3) Molar mass of Li_{2}SO_{4} = 7x2 + 32 + 16x2 = 78g

Molarity = (734/78)/0.875 = 10.754 Mol/L

5) Molar mass of   Pb(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{4}

= 207.2 + ((12x2) + (1x3) + (16x2))x4

= 207.2 + (24+3+32)x4 = 443.2g

Molarity = (0.0672/443.2)/0.1335 = 0.001135 Mol/L

6) Both are the same.

Solution 1 Molarity = 1.0/1.0 = 1 Mol/L

Solution 2 Molarity = 1.0/1.0 = 1 Mol/L

Molarities of the solutions are the same.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

Water is very essential for the body. When we drink water, our blood cells absorbs water from the body. This happen by a process called as osmosis process. Osmosis is type of diffusion process.

Water along with oxygen and carbon dioxide are some of the simple molecules that moves into the blood cell. Osmosis is the process by which water molecules passes into the cell bodies through its semi permeable membrane.
