You are making a 1L solution that you want to be buffered with ammonia and ammonium. However ammonia is a gas that is difficult

to dissolve directly in water with good precision. Instead you will start with ammonium chloride and add sodium hydroxide which will react with the ammonium to form ammonia. Which of the following combinations will give you the optimal buffered solution?
a. 54 grams ammonium chloride and 108 grams sodium hydroxide
b. 54 grams ammonium chloride and 54 grams sodium hydroxide
c. 54 grams ammonium chloride and 40 grams sodium hydroxide
d. 54 grams ammonium chloride and 10 grams sodium hydroxide

Answer:

54 grams ammonium chloride and 40 grams sodium hydroxide

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that contains either a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt, the solution is resistant to changes in pH. This means that, a buffer is an aqueous solution of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

A Buffer is used to maintain a stable pH in a solution, buffers can neutralize small quantities of additional acid of base. For any buffer solution, there is always a working pH range and a set amount of acid or base that can be neutralized before the pH will change. The amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer before changing its pH is called its buffer capacity.

A good buffer mixture is supposed to have about equal concentrations of its both components. It is a rule of thumb therefore, that a buffer solution has generally lost its usefulness when one component of the buffer pair is less than about 10% of the other component.

The implication of this is that the ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide should be of approximately the same concentration. If the masses are dissolved as shown in the answer, then we will have 1molL-1 of each component of the buffer in accordance with the rule of thumb stated above.

joja [24]

Answer:

new substances formed, as evidenced by the color changes and bubbles. Some signs of a chemical change are a change in color and the formation of bubbles. The five conditions of chemical change: color chage, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change.

30 its ASAP!!!! What is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.485 moles of Oxygen gas at 23.0 oC and 0.980 atm?
USPshnik [31]
Use the universal gas formula

PV=nRT
where
P=pressure ( 0.980 atm)
V=volume (L)
T=temperature ( 23 ° C = 23+273.15 = 296.15 ° K)
n=number of moles of ideal gas (0.485 mol)
R=universal gas constant = <span>0.08205 L atm / (mol·K)

Substitute values,
Volume, V (in litres)
=nRT/P
=0.485*0.08205*296.15/0.980
= 12.0256 L
= 12.0 L (to three significant figures)

Can you catch coronavirus from F.A.R.Ts?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Droplets or aerosols. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets or tiny particles called aerosols carry the virus into the air from their nose or mouth. Anyone who is within 6 feet of that person can breathe it into their lungs.

Airborne transmission. Research shows that the virus can live in the air for up to 3 hours. It can get into your lungs if someone who has it breathes out and you breathe that air in.

Surface transmission. Another way to catch the new coronavirus is when you touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on. You may touch a countertop or doorknob that's contaminated and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes. The virus can live on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for 2 to 3 days. To stop it, clean and disinfect all counters, knobs, and other surfaces you and your family touch several times a day.

Fecal-oral. Studies also suggest that virus particles can be found in infected people's poop. But experts aren't sure whether the infection can spread through contact with an infected person's stool. If that person uses the bathroom and doesn't wash their hands, they could infect things and people that they touch.
