<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>
Given:
Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0
Let HA = acetic acid
A- = sodium acetate
Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)
pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75
Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]
[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77
[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)
From (1) and (2)
[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM
[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM
[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM
Answer : The correct option is, (B)
Explanation :
Balance equation : Balanced equation are those equation in which the number of atoms of each element and the total charge must be same on products side and reactants side.
In the given options, only option (B) equation has correct formula and also a balanced equation.
while the other options has incorrect formulas and also an unbalanced equations.
The correct equation for option A is, 
The correct equation for option C is, 
The correct equation for option D is, 
Hence, the correct answer is, (B)
The pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.
<h3>What is Boyle's law?</h3>
Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.
By implication, when the piston is lowered and the volume of the gas is decreased, the pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.

The anode is the negative electrode and so will be donating electrons to assist in this chemical reaction occuring. All reactions accept electrons as reactants. The key issue is the reduction potential Eo (+1.8V). This is greatest for the reaction:
Co3+ + e -> Co2+
Therefore this reaction has the greatest tendency to occur.
