Answer:

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer solution is calculated using following relation

pH=pKa+log(\frac{salt}{acid} )

Thus the pH of buffer solution will be near to the pKa of the acid used in making the buffer solution.

The pKa value of HC₃H₅O₃ acid is more closer to required pH = 4 than CH₃NH₃⁺ acid.

pKa = -log [Ka]

For HC₃H₅O₃

pKa = 3.1

For CH₃NH₃⁺

pKa = 10.64

pKb = 14-10.64 = 3.36 [Thus the pKb of this acid is also near to required pH value)

A mixture of 100. mL of 0.1 M HC3H5O3 and 50. mL of NaOH

Half of the acid will get neutralized by the given base and thus will result in equal concentration of both the weak acid and the salt making the pH just equal to the pKa value.

For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this
Rom4ik [11]

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.

If the H3O is 4.950 x 10-12 what is the ph?
romanna [79]

Answer:

pH = 11.3

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Concentration of hydronium ion [H₃O⁺] = 4.950×10¯¹² M

pH =.?

The pH of a solution is defined by the following equation:

pH = –Log [H₃O⁺]

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the pH of the solution as follow:

Concentration of hydronium ion [H₃O⁺] = 4.950×10¯¹² M

pH =.?

pH = –Log [H₃O⁺]

pH = –Log 4.950×10¯¹²

pH = 11.3

Who is Gregor Mendeſ, and what did he<br> discover about traits?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

8. Thermal Energy is?
Burka [1]

Thermal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object. The figure shows that if either potential or kinetic energy increases, thermal energy increases.
