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

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th
shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}

  • If pH is increased then concentration of H^{+} increases in solution resulting removal of CH_{3}COO^{-} by forming CH_{3}COOH. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve
  • If AgNO_{3} is added then concentration of Ag^{+} increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve
  • Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of Ag^{+}. So, more AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve

Hence all three statements are true
