1. They were both discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie.
2. They can both poison you.
3. Radium is named after the Latin word for "Ray"
4. Polonium is named after Poland, the country in which Marie Curie was born.
5. Marie and Pierre Curie obtained radium and polonium from pitchblende, a material containing uranium.
6. Polonium was discovered in 1898.
7. Radium was discovered in 1898 as well.
8. Radium and polonium are both elements on the periodic table.
9. Polonium is also called "radium F".
10. Both radium and polonium must be handled very carefully with good equipment, or their toxic fumes could spread and possibly be fatal.

Hope this helped! :)

Calculate the pH of a 1.00 L buffer of 0.97 M CH3COONa / 1.02 M CH3COOH before and after the addition of the following species.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

a) 4.73

b) 4.78

c) 4.66 (further addition)  or 4.60 (starting from the original buffer solution)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

volume of the buffer = 1.00 L

Buffer = 0.97 M CH3COONa / 1.02 M CH3COOH

pKa CH3COOH = 4.75

<u>Step 2: </u>pH = pKa + log [CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]

pH = 4.75 + log (0.97/1.02)

pH =<u> 4.73</u>

(b) pH after addition of 0.065 mol NaOH

Adding 0.065 mol NaOH will reduce the acid by that amount leaving 1.02 - 0.065 = 0.955 moles HA in 1 L so [HA] = 0.955; the neutralized acid produces A- in the same amount, increasing [A-] to 0.97 +0.065 = 1.035

pH = pKa + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]

pH = 4.75 + log(1.035/0.955)

pH = <u>4.78</u>

c) pH after<u> further</u> addition of 0.144 mol HCl

The reverse will happen after the addition of HCl:

[HA] = 0.955 + 0.144 = 1.099

[A-] = 1.035 - 0.144 = 0.891

pH = 4.75 + log(0.891/1.099)

pH = 4.66

If we add 0.144 mol of HCl to the original buffer we will get:

[HA] = 1.02 + 0.144 = 1.164

[A-] = 0.97 - 0.144 = 0.826

pH = 4.75 + log(0.826/1.164)

pH = 4.60

I'm kinda stumped here :/
maria [59]

Answer:

To prepare 20,0 mL of the liquid mixture you should mix 15,3 mL of CHCl₃ with 4,7 mL of CHBr₃

Explanation:

Here you have two variables: The volume of both CHCl₃ (X) and CHBr₃ (Y). To find these two variables you must have, at least, two equations.

You know total volume is 20,0 mL. Thus:

X + Y = 20,0 mL (1)

The other equation  is:

\frac{X}{20,0mL\\} × 1,492 g/mL + \frac{Y}{20,0 mL} × 2,890 g/mL = 1,82 g/mL (2)

If you replace (1) in (2):

\frac{X}{20,0mL\\} × 1,492 g/mL + \frac{20,0 mL - X}{20,0 mL} × 2,890 g/mL = 1,82 g/mL

Solving:

X = 15,3 mL

Thus, using (1):

20,0 mL - 15,3 mL = Y = 4,7 mL

Thus, to prepare 20,0 mL of the liquid mixture you must mix 15,3 mL of CHCl₃ with 4,7 mL of CHBr₃.

I hope it helps!
