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.

NaOH is a strong base. What two ions do you expect to find in a solution of NaOH?
Marrrta [24]

According to Arrhenius concept a base is one which can donate hydroxide ion in its aqueous solution.

Here NaOH is a base as it can donate OH-.

As NaOH is a strong base it will have very high dissociation constant.

Due to high dissociation constant if will almost completely dissociate into sodium ions and hydroxide ions.

NaOH  --> Na^{+}(aq)  + OH^{-}(aq)

Thus in a solution of NaOH we will expect  the following two ions

Na^{+}  + OH^{-}[/tex]

Answer:

The mass of 10 cm³of a 0.4 g/dm³ solution of sodium carbonate is 0.004 grams

Explanation:

The question is with regards to density calculations

The density of the given sodium carbonate solution, ρ = 0.4 g/dm³

The volume of the given solution of sodium carbonate, V = 10 cm³ = 0.01 dm³

Density \ of \ an \ object, \rho  = \dfrac{The \ mass \ of \ the \ object, \ m }{\ The \ volume \ of \ the \ object, \ V }

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

Therefore, we have;

The \ Density \ of \ the \ sodium \ carbonate, \ \rho  = 0.4 \ g/dm^3 =  \dfrac{m }{ 0.01 \ dm^3 }

The mass, "m", of the sodium carbonate in  = ρ×V = 0.4 g/dm³ × 0.01 dm³ = 0.004 g

The mass of 10 cm³ (10 cm³ = 0.01 dm³) of a 0.4 g/dm³ solution of sodium carbonate, m = 0.004 g.
