Explain what is in a buffer. Discuss the function of a buffer. How will pH change when small amounts of acids or bases are added

to the buffer solution?
Chemistry

AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Is a substance that can maintain  certain range of pH

Explanation:

A buffer is mixture of two salts that are complementary, one salt is acid and another is basic, but since then share some part of their structure, if you add to this mixture another acid, the basic salt can absorb it and still maintaining the same pH. If you pour a base, the acid salt will absorb it and again the final pH will remain the same. So the buffers are used to maintain the same pH does not matter if you add small quantities of an acid or base.

Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:(b) Formation of francium-221 through α decay
Lady_Fox [76]

The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(b) Formation of francium-221 through α decay is (225,89)Ac -> (4,2)alpha + (221,87)Fr

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.

What is the molar mass of a gas which occupies 48.7 L at 111oC under 698 torr of pressure and has a mass of 21.5 grams?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Molar mass of the gas = 15.15 g/mol

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Where,

P = pressure

n = No. of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

P = 698 torr, 1 torr = 0.00131579 atm

698\;torr = 698\times0.00131579 = 0.9184\;atm

Temperature = 111 °C = 100 + 273.15 = 384.15 K

V = 48.7 L

R = 0.082057 L atm/mol K

Now, PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

n = \frac{0.9184\times48.7}{0.082057\times384.15}

          =1.4189 mol

Molar mass = Mass/ No. of  moles

                    = 21.5/1.4189

                    =15.15 g/mol

Why do the two elements silver and iron have different properties?
Firdavs [7]
Elements in same group / family tend to have similar properties ( but not exactly the same). Since, iron and silver are in two different group / families, they have different properties.

Also, Silver and iron have different properties because they have different atomic structure. Having different atomic structure means bonding differently with other elements. So, they have different properties.

1. Why do you think pepper behaved the way it did in this experiment? What do you think that sugar and salt would do?
goblinko [34]

The experiment is related to the demonstration using Pepper. When pepper is spread over water, it clumps together This is because pepper is hydrophobic. When repeated with sugar and salt, they instantly dissolved. This means they are attracted to water. When also sprinkled on the surface of the water, it floats. This is caused by surface tension.

To break the surface tension of water, one can use aeration or the use of chemicals such as soap molecules which contain a long chain of hydrogen as well as carbon atoms.

<h3>What is surface tension?</h3>

Surface tension is the propensity of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink to the smallest feasible surface area. Surface tension permits items with a higher density than water, such as razor blades and insects (such as water striders), to float on the water's surface without being immersed.

A force tensiometer can be used to measure surface tension. The forces exerted on a probe situated at the liquid-gas or liquid-liquid interface are measured by these devices.

Calculate the ph of a 0.60 m h2so3, solution that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1 = 1.5 × 10-2 and 1.82 1.06 1.02 2.
Vsevolod [243]
Missing in your question Ka2 =6.3x10^-8
From this reaction:
 H2SO3 + H2O ↔ H3O+  + HSO3-
by using the ICE table :
                H2SO3     ↔    H3O     +    HSO3- 
intial         0.6                     0                  0
change     -X                      +X                +X
Equ         (0.6-X)                  X                   X

when Ka1 = [H3O+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
So by substitution:
1.5X10^-2 = (X*X) / (0.6-X) by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.088
∴[H2SO3] = 0.6 - 0.088 = 0.512
[HSO3-] = [H3O+] = 0.088

by using the ICE table 2:
                 HSO3-     ↔   H3O     +     SO3-
initial        0.088              0.088              0
change    -X                      +X                   +X
Equ         (0.088-X)          (0.088+X)          X

Ka2= [H3O+] [SO3-] / [HSO3-]
we can assume [HSO3-] =  0.088 as the value of Ka2 is very small
 6.3x10^-8 = (0.088+X)*X / 0.088
X^2 +0.088 X - 5.5x10^-9= 0 by solving this equation for X
∴X= 6.3x10^-8
∴[H3O+] = 0.088 + 6.3x10^-8
               = 0.088 m ( because X is so small)
∴PH= -㏒[H3O+]
       = -㏒ 0.088 = 1.06
