Select the statements that correctly describe buffers.

Chemistry
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when a small amount of acid is added.

C) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of acid to the concentration of base.

Explanation:

Buffer solution is useful in maintaining the pH of a solution constant . It is made of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and  its salt . Ph of a buffer is given by the following relation .

pH = pKa + log [ A⁻ ] / [ HA ]

A- is a base and HA is a weak acid .

When we add acid , it reacts with A⁻ or base and gets neutralised .

When we add base , it reacts with acid HA and gets neutralised . In this way it maintains the pH of the solution .

How many moles of H2 will be produced from 100 moles of water?2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
ki77a [65]

In order to answer this question, we are going to look at the molar ratio between H2O and H2, we can see that by analyzing the numbers in front of the compounds, and we can see that the molar ratio is 2:2, this means that for every 2 moles of water decomposing, we will end up with 2 moles of H2 being produced, therefore the same amount of moles for H2O will be the same amount of moles of H2, which means that if we have 100 moles of H2O being decomposed, we will also have 100 moles of H2 being produced.

Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl. When compound A is treated with sodium metho
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Compound A and compound B are constitutional isomers with molecular formula C3H7Cl.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates. When compound B is treated with sodium methoxide, an elimination reaction predominates.

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are the one which differs in the structural formula.

When compound A is treated with sodium methoxide, a substitution reaction predominates.

That means sodium methoxide is a strong base and a strong nucleophile.

But when it reacts with primary alkyl halides it forms a substitution product and when it reacts with secondary alkyl halide it forms mostly elimination product.

The reaction and the structures of A and B are shown below:

Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. which principle explains why a hyperbaric chamber (conta
babunello [35]

Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber (containing high levels of oxygen) can treat carbon monoxide poisoning, by displacing carbon monoxide from Hemoglobin competitively.

Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This is because, a coordinate bond is formed with Carbon monoxide and Haem structure of the hemoglobin.

Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin is called as Carboxy haemoglobin.

Presence of oxygen displaces the Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin that is formed due to poisoning.

Hyperbaric chamber is a chamber which contains pure oxygen in a chamber. The atmospheric pressure is kept about three to four times than the normal, such that the replacement of Carbon monoxide from Haem can occur as fast as possible since this reduces the half life of the Carboxy haemoglobin.

It is advisable not to treat Carbon monoxide poisoning yourself.

Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat the following conditions as well:

  • Infections
  • Wounds
  • Air bubble is blood
