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

A basketball player jumps straight up to dunk a basketball. The basketball player's speed increases as she returns to the
katen-ka-za [31]

Options :

The upward force is greater than the downward force.

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

The rightward force is greater than the leftward force.

The leftward force is greater than the rightward force.

Answer:

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

Explanation:

When the player jumps to dunk a basket ball, it requires an upward force exerted on the person due to the push by the person to jump, after dunking the basket ball, the player attains maximum height, where his final velocity becomes zero and his direction changes (from upward to downward), at this point his velocity increases due to the additional force exerted on the player due to the Earth's Gravitational pull - which is a downward force which acts on an object).

Hence, it could be concluded that the increase in speed of the basketball player as she returns to the ground means that the downward force is greater than the upward force acting on the player.

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
