Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)

So, OH^{-} is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of OH^{-} increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of OH^{-} combines with NH_{4}^{+} to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.

g n the Ideal Gas Law lab, how is the temperature of the hydrogen gas determined? Select one: The pressure of the gas is determi
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is determined, which will allow you to calculate the temperature.

Explanation:

According to Charles law; the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

This implies that, when the volume of an ideal gas is measured at constant pressure, the temperature of the ideal gas can be calculated from it according to Charles law.

Hence in the Ideal Gas Law lab, the temperature of an ideal gas is measured by determining the volume of the ideal gas.

Water has a higher boiling point than expected because
Nadya [2.5K]
Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.

describe how a pure dry sample of solid lead carbonate can be obtained from sodium carbonate solution and lead nitrate solution
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Soluble salts can be made by reacting acids with soluble or insoluble reactants. Titration must be used if the reactants are soluble. Insoluble salts are made by precipitation reactions.

Making insoluble salts

An insoluble salt can be prepared by reacting two suitable solutions together to form a precipitate.

Determining suitable solutions

All nitrates and all sodium salts are soluble. This means a given precipitate XY can be produced by mixing together solutions of:

X nitrate

sodium Y

For example, to prepare a precipitate of calcium carbonate:

X = calcium and Y = carbonate

mix calcium nitrate solution and sodium carbonate solution together

calcium nitrate + sodium carbonate → sodium nitrate + calcium carbonate

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaNO3(aq) + CaCO3(s)

It also works if potassium carbonate solution or ammonium carbonate solution is used instead of sodium carbonate solution. Remember that all common potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.

Which process releases energy that eventually produces lightning in the thunderstorm?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Answer: B. Water condenses to form clouds.

Explanation:

When the moisture condenses, this results in the release of energy. The energy causes the air to be warm and results in the rise of air in the upper atmosphere. This process results in the instability in the atmosphere and cumulonimbus clouds are formed. These clouds support lightening during a thunderstorm.
