Hello!

When HI is added, the buffer reacts in the following way:

1) Neutralizing of the Acid:

HI + NH₄OH → NH₄I + H₂O

2) Dissociation of the salt of a weak acid:

NH₄I → NH₄⁺(aq) + I⁻ (aq)

3) Dissociation of a weak acid to form H₃O⁺ (very little):

NH₄⁺ + H₂O ⇄ NH₃ + H₃O⁺

This series of reactions show how the adding of a strong Acid can be neutralized by the buffer, releasing instead very little amounts of Hydronium ions.

Have a nice day!

A gas has a volume of 50.0 cm3 at a temperature of -73°c. what volume would the gas occupy at a temperature of -123°c if the pre
vaieri [72.5K]

Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula  p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume  and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and  volume.

Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p 
V = 50.0 p / 2p

= 50.0 /2

= 25.0 m^3 
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2 
100 p = V x p 
V = 100 m^3 
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p 
V = 50.0 p / 3p

= 50.0 /3

=16.7 m^3
