Answer:

The most effective buffer at pH 9.25 will be  a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

pH of a buffer = pKa + log ([A-]/[Ha])

a mixture of 1.0 M HC2H3O2 and 1.0 M NaC2H3O2 (Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10-5)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5)

pH = 4.74

a mixture of 1.0 M NaCN and 1.0 M KCN (Ka for HCN = 4.9 x 10-10)

pH = -log( 4.9 * 10^-10) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 1.8 * 10^-5)

pH = 9.30

a mixture of 1.0 M HCl and 1.0 M NaCl

The solution made from NaCl and HCl will NOT act as a buffer.

HCl is a strong acid while NaCl is salt of strong acid and strong base which do not from buffer solutions hence due to HCl PH is less than 7.

a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl (Kb for ammonia = 1.76 x 10^-5)

Ka * Kb = 1*10^-14

Ka = 10^-14 / 1.76*10^-5

Ka = 5.68*10^-10

pH = -log( 5.68*10^-10) + log (1/1)

pH = -log( 5.68*10^-10)

pH = 9.25

The most effective buffer at pH 9.25 will be  a mixture of 1.0 M NH3 and 1.0 M NH4Cl

What is chemical potential energy?
tigry1 [53]

Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition

Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car

Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction occurring in an electrolytic cell:
Vikki [24]
The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.

Consider the balanced equation below.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The correct option is (a) H₂S : SO₂ = 2 : 2 and O₂ : H₂O = 3 : 2

<h3>What is molar Ratio ?</h3>

Molar ratio also known as stoichiometry is the ratio in which the reactants and products are either formed or reacted in the given equation

the balanced equation is as follows ;

2H₂S + 3O₂ --> 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

molar ratio can be determined by the coefficients of the compounds in the balanced reaction.

coefficient is the number in front of the chemical compound

coefficients for the compounds in this reaction are as follows ;

  • H₂S - 2
  • O₂ - 3
  • SO₂ - 2
  • H₂O - 2

therefore, correct option is (a) H₂S:SO₂ = 2:2 and O₂:H₂O = 3:2

A student found that the titration had taken 10.00 ml of 0.1002 m naoh to titration 0.132 g of aspirin, a monoprotic acid. calcu
Harman [31]
The balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is as follows;
NaOH + C₉H₈O₄ --> C₉H₇O₄Na + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to C₉H₈O₄ is 1:1
The number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.1002 M / 1000 mL/L x 10.00 mL 
Number of NaOH  moles - 0.001002 mol
Therefore number of moles of aspirin - 0.001002 mol
Mass of aspirin reacted - 0.001002 mol x 180.2 g/mol = 0.18 g
However the mass of the aspirin sample is 0.132 g but 0.18 g of aspirin has reacted, therefore this question is not correct.
