A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of lactic acid and 0.27 mol of sodium lactate in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L

of solution.The addition of 0.05 mol of NaOH to this buffer solution causes the pH to increase slightly. The pH does not increase drastically because the NaOH reacts with the ________ present in the buffer solution. The Ka of lactic acid is 1.4 ⋅ 10-4.

Answer:

The pH does not increase drastically because the NaOH reacts with the <em>lactic acid</em> present in the buffer solution.

Explanation:

A buffer is the equilibrium that is produced by yje misture of a weak acid with its conjugate base or vice versa.

In the problem, the equilibrium is:

Lactic acid ⇄ Sodium lactate + H⁺

The addition of a strong base as NaOH produce the reaction with lactate acid to form sodium lactate and water, thus:

Lactic acid + NaOH ⇄ Sodium lactate + H₂O

The pH does not increase drastically because, as you can see, there is no formation of free OH⁻ that are responsible of pH increasing

Explanation:

The solution of the lactic acd and sodium lactate is referred to as a buffer solution.

A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. In this case, the weak acid is the lactic acid and the conjugate base is the sodium lactate.

Buffer solutions are generally known to resist change in pH values.

When a strong base (in this case, NaOH) is added to the buffer, the lactic acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base, so we have:

HA + OH- → A- + H2O.

Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.

The NaOH reacts with the weak acid present in the buffer sollution.

what is the concentration (in %v/v)) of the following solutions? a. 25 mL of ethanol is diluted to a volume of 150 mL with water
fenix001 [56]
The symbol %v/v means percent by volume. Assuming there is no volume effects when these substances are mixed, we calculate as follows:

% v/v = (25 mL ethanol / 25 mL + 150 mL ) x 100
%v/v = 14.29 mL ethanol / mL solution

Hope this answers the question.

What energy transformations occur each time the skateboarder rolls up on the ramp? ( I will try to mark you ) (7th grade science
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. The faster skaters move, the more kinetic energy they have. In a halfpipe, energy is constantly transformed between potential (at the top) and kinetic (as they travel down the sides) as the skater goes back and forth between the ramps.

What is the purpose of the following in the experiment of Synthesis of Methyl Salicylate
Aneli [31]

Answer:

1. Phosphoric Acid : Catalyst

2. Methyl Anthranilate : Reactive

3. Sodium Nitrite : Reactive

4. Diethyl Ether : Solvent and reactant

5. Nitrogen : Sub-product

Explanation:

The phosphoric acid is used as a catalyst for the reaction, the methyl anthranilate will react with the sodium nitrite to produce methyl salicylate, along with the diethyl ether and the nitrogen is a sub-product of the reaction.
