Suppose a student prepares a buffer that is intended to be pH 7.20. However, when the student tests its pH using a pH probe, the

measured value reads pH 6.90. Identify two possible systematic errors that could lead to this result.

  1. A calibration error could lead to this result, if the pH probe was not properly calibrated before being used, the measured value of pH would be different from the actual pH value. Meaning in this case the student correctly prepared the buffer.
  2. While measuring the mass of the buffer's acid component (for example NaH₂PO₄), the student did not properly set the balance to zero before proceding to weigh the compound, causing the mass readings to be underestimated. As a result, the student weighed more acid than required, eventually leading to a decreased pH value.

Based on the law of conservation of matter, describe the relationship between the mass of the recants, and the mass of the produ
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Are F2 and Br2 polar
FromTheMoon [43]
Neither F2 nor Br2 are polar because they are nonpolar. It is a good rule of thumb to know that any diatomic molecules like F2 or Br2 are always going to be nonpolar. Another way to determine this is to use the acronym SNAP ( symmetrical=nonpolar, asymmetrical=polar). Since both F2 and Br2 are symmetrical molecules, they must be nonpolar.

I hope this helps.

What property do all of the group 18 elements have that make them stand out from other elements?
matrenka [14]
They are very stable (not reactive).

This is because their outer shell has a total of 8 valence electrons. All elements strive to get towards a full outer shell, but since these elements already have a full outer shell, they are fairly unreactive.
