Answer:
The independent variable is what you change in the experiment.
Explanation:
The independent determines the dependent variable.
This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:
pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]
Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid).
Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L
Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M
Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48
The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.
