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.

Answer:

Hydrogen and Oxygen

Pureified water has been filtered or processed to remove impurities like chemicals and other contaminants, while tap water is not and it is composed of minerals that may not be seen in purified water.

Chemicals are the most common type of water contaminants. They affect both surface and underground water bodies. Industries and farming activities are the leading cause.

The equilibrium: 2 NO2(g) \Longleftrightarrow⇔ N2O4(g) has Kc = 4.7 at 100ºC. What is true about the rates of the forwar
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • Initial: forward rate > reverse rate
  • Equilibrium: forward rate = reverse rate

Explanation:

2NO₂(g) → N₂O₄(g)   Kc=4.7

The definition of <em>equilibrium</em> is when the forward rate and the reverse rate are <em>equal</em>.

Because in the initial state there's only NO₂, there's no possibility for the reverse reaction (from N₂O₄ to NO₂). Thus the forward rate will be larger than the reverse rate.

two solutions are made by mixing sugar and enough water to make a 1 liter solution. one contains 5% sugar and the other contains
Free_Kalibri [48]

Based on their percent concentration, the 5% sugar solution contains more water.

<h3>What is the concertation of a solution?</h3>

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved or present in a given volume of solution.

Concentration of solutions can be expressed as either:

  • molar concentration
  • mass concentration
  • percentage concentration

The concentration of the sugar solutions are given as percent concentration.

The 5% sugar solution contains 5% sugar and 95% water

The 10% sugar solution contains 10% sugar and 90% water.

Therefore, the 5% sugar solution contains more water.
