What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?

Zielflug [23.3K]

A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.

What is the boiling point of water at an elevation of 1.55×104 ft ?

horsena [70]

The computation for this problem is:
(1.55x10^4 / 1.0x10^3) x 19.8 mm Hg
= 15.5 x 19.88 mm Hg
= 308.14 mm Hg decrease
= 308.14 x 0.05 C = 15.407 deg C
deduct this amount to 100
100 – 15.407 = 84.593 C
ANSWER: 85 deg C (rounded to 2 significant figures)

You need to prepare 1 L of the citric acid/citrate buffer. You have chosen to use Method 1 (see lab presentation). Calculate the

prisoha [69]

Answer:

3.11 is the pH of the buffer

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [Conjugate base] / [Weak acid]

Where pH is the pH of the buffer, pKa = -log Ka = 3.14 for the citric buffer and [] could be taken as the moles of each species.

The citric acid,HX (Weak acid), reacts with NaOH to produce sodium citrate, NaX (weak base) and water:

HX + NaOH → H2O + NaX

That means the moles of NaOH added = Moles of sodium citrate produced

And the resulitng moles of HX = Initial moles - Moles NaOH added

Moles HX and NaX:

Moles NaOH = 0.100L * (0.65mol / L) = 0.065 moles NaOH = Moles NaX

Moles HX = 0.300L * (0.45mol / L) = 0.135 moles HX - 0.065 moles NaOH = 0.070 moles HX

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.14 + log [0.065mol] / [0.070mol]

pH = 3.11 is the pH of the buffer
