Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

<em>That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.</em>

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a  base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.

How many grams of C8H18<br> is in 405,576.398 mL
nevsk [136]

Molarity X \frac{0.762 mol}{05.576398 L} = Mass is the of C_8H_1_8 is in 405,576.398 mL.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per litres of a solution. Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.

Given data:

Molar mass of  C_8H_1_8 = 0.762 mol

Volume of solution = 405,576.398 mL = 405,576.398 mL/1000 = 405.576398 L

Solution:

Step 1: Calculating  moles of C_8H_1_8

• Molarity =\frac{\;Moles \;of \;solute}{\;Volume \;of \;solution \;in \;litre}

• Putting the value in the given formula

• Moles of solute C8H18 = \frac{\;Mass}{\;Molar \;molar \;mass}

• Moles of solute C8H18 = \frac{\;Mass}{0.762 mol}

Now,

Molarity =\frac{\;Moles \;of \;solute}{\;Volume \;of \;solution \;in \;litre}

Molarity =\frac{\frac{\;Mass}{0.762 mol}}{\;Volume \;of \;solution \;in \;litre}

Molarity =\frac{\frac{\;Mass}{0.762 mol}}{405.576398 L}

Molarity X \frac{0.762 mol}{05.576398 L} = Mass

Hence, Molarity X \frac{0.762 mol}{05.576398 L} = Mass is the of C_8H_1_8 is in 405,576.398 mL.

harry potter flips a coin (not magical ) 8 times. He gets heads 1 time. What are the odds that his next flip will be heads? A 10
rodikova [14]
C. 50%
Unless the question is saying he only gets heads once, in which case it would be 0%. Or the coin could have 2 heads. Then it would be 100%.
But I'm pretty sure it's 50%.
