A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe

n strong acids or strong bases are added, buffers either accept protons when they are in excess or donate protons when they have been depleted to minimize changes in pH. Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer? Select one or more: a. The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. c. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. d. The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. e. An alkaline buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. f. An alkaline buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

Answer:

b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution

d.The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resist pH change, it shows minimal change upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base. An alkaline buffer will have a  basic pH, above 7. It is made by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. An example of an alkaline buffer is carbonate-bicarbonate buffer that is prepared using varying amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate and volume of solution of sodium bicarbonate to get pH range between 9.2 to 10.7

Within the buffer,the salt is completely ionized while the weak base is partly ionized. on addition of acid, the released protons will be removed by the bicarbonate ion to form sodium carbonate; on addition of base, the hydroxide ion released by the base will be removed by the hydrogen ions to form water and the pH remains relatively the same

Sloan [31]
Note: Above question is incomplete. Complete question is
<span>What type of chemical reaction is so3(g) + h2o(l) → h2so4(aq)
a) Neutralization
b) Decomposition
c) Combination
d) Single displacement reaction
...............................................................................................................
Solution:
In current context, following things may be noted
1) Neutralization reactions: In neutralization reactions, acid and base combine to form salt and water.
b) Decomposition reaction: R</span><span>eaction in which a single substance broken down two or more smaller substances is refereed as decomposition reaction. Decomposition reactions are characterized be present of single molecule on reactant side. 
c) Combination reaction: In a recombination reaction</span><span> two or more molecules combine to form a single product.
d) Single displacement reaction: R</span><span>eaction in which an element within a compound is displaced by a another element is referred as single displacement reaction. 

Above reaction satisfies the criteria of combination reaction, hence correct answer is option C, combination. </span>

A salt crystal has a mass 0.14mg,How many NaCl formula units does it contain?
klemol [59]
To determine the number of formula units in a sample of a compound you need to divide the number of grams by the formula mass. The formula mass of NaCl is 23 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g/mol, and the number of grams of the sample is 0.14 mg * 1 g/ 1000 mg = 0.00014 g. Then the answer is 0.00014 g / 58.5 g = 2.30 * 10^ -6, which rounded to two significant figures is 2.4 * 10^ -6. So<span> the answer is 2.4 * 10^-6 or 0.0000024</span>

A 10.0 g ice cube is placed into 250 g of water with an initial temperature of 20.0 C. If the water drops to a temperature of 16
Radda [10]

the mass of ice taken = 10 g

the mass of water = 250 g

initial temperature of water = 20 C

the final temperature of water = 16. 8 C

specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g*K

the heat absorbed by ice to melt = heat loss by water

heat loss by water = mass X specific heat of water X change in temperature

heat loss by water = 250 X 4.18 X (20-16.8) = 3344 Joules

heat gained by ice = 3344 J

heat gained by ice = enthalpy of fusion X moles of ice

moles of ice = mass / molar mass = 10 / 18 = 0.56 moles

enthalpy of fusion = 3344 / 0.56 = 5971.43 J / mole
