A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges. Buffer solutions have a working pH range and capacity which dictate how much acid/base can be neutralized before pH changes, and the amount by which it will change.
This doesn't need an ICE chart. Both will fully dissociate in water.
Assume HClO4 and KOH reacts with one another. All you need to do is determine how much HClO4 will remain after the reaction. Calculate pH.
Step 1:
write out balanced equation for the reaction
HClO4+KOH ⇔ KClO4 + H2O
the ratio of HClO4 to KOH is going to be 1:1. Each mole of KOH we add will fully react with 1 mole of HClO4
Step 2:
Determining the number of moles present in HClO4 and KOH
Use the molar concentration and the volume for each:
25 mL of 0.723 M HClO4
Covert volume from mL into L:
25 mL * 1L/1000mL = 0.025 L
Remember:
M = moles/L so we have 0.025 L of 0.723 moles/L HClO4
Multiply the volume in L by the molar concentration to get:
0.025L x 0.723mol/L = 0.0181 moles HClO4.
Add 66.2 mL KOH with conc.=0.273M
66.2mL*1L/1000mL = .0662 L
.0662L x 0.273mol/L = 0.0181 moles KOH
Step 3:
Determine how much HClO4 remains after reacting with the KOH.
Since both reactants fully dissociate and are used in a 1:1 ratio, we just subtract the number of moles of KOH from the number of moles of HClO4:
moles HClO4 = 0.0181; moles KOH = 0.0181, so 0.0181-0.0181 = 0
This means all of the HClO4 is used up in the reaction.
If all of the acid is fully reacted with the base, the pH will be neutral = 7.
Determine the H3O+ concentration:
pH = -log[H3O+]; [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-7
The correct answer is 1.0x10-7.
Explanation:
elements are based on electrical conductivity
You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond. Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron. The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
The letter only has reflection symmetry, if you rotated it it would look the same.
