A buffer contains significant amounts of ammonia and ammonium chloride.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a. HCl + NH₃ ⇄ NH₄Cl

b. KOH + NH₄⁺ ⇄ K⁺ + NH₃ + H₂O

Explanation:

A buffer system is made by a weak base (ammonia, NH₃) and its conjugate acid (ammonium ion NH₄⁺ coming from ammonium chloride NH₄Cl). Its function is to resist abrupt changes in the pH when acids or bases are added.

a. When aqueous hydrochloric acid is added, it reacts with the base of the buffer. The corresponding equation is:

HCl + NH₃ ⇄ NH₄Cl

b. When aqueous potassium hydroxide is added, it reacts with the acid of the buffer. The corresponding equation is:

KOH + NH₄⁺ ⇄ K⁺ + NH₃ + H₂O

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W

If you pump 40.088g of octane (C8H18) into your gas tank, how mant molecules of octane are you pumping
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2.11 × 10²³ molecules of octane

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of octane = 40.088 g

Molecules of octane = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

Number of moles of octane:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 40.088 g / 114.23 g/mol

Number of moles =  0.351 mol

Number of molecules:

one mole of octane = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of octane

0.351 mole of octane = 0.351 ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of octane

2.11 × 10²³ molecules of octane
