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

Explain what a chemical reaction is and moles
Delvig [45]

Answer:

A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.

Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.

Examples of chemical reactions:

Combustion

Oxidation (rusting)

Cooking an egg

Photosynthesis

Digestion

Fireworks

Paper Burnin

The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.

1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x 10^{23}).

Calculate the tempature of a 0.50 mol sample of a gas at a pressure of 0.987 atm and a volume of 12 L
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The temperature is 288, 88K

Explanation:

We use the formula PV= nRT:

T= PV/nR

T= 0,987 atm x12 L/0,50 mol x 0,082 l atm/K mol

<em>T=288,88K</em>

What is the carbon nucleophile which attacks molecular bromine in the acid-catalyzed α-bromination of a ketone?
Usimov [2.4K]

The enol carbon or ∝-carbon  nucleophile attacks at molecular bromine in the acid-catalyzed α-bromination of a ketone

Treatment of ketones with bromine in the presence of acid will results in formation of a new C-Br bond at the alpha position. The purpose of the acid  is to catalysed formation of the enol from ketone , which is active nucleophile in the reaction. This reaction is called haloform reaction which is used to identify the methyl substituted ketone in the presence of aldehyde.
