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.

When the volume changes from 63.5 mL to 69.2 mL, what is the final pressure if the initial pressure was 735 mmHg pressure?
Trava [24]
To solve this problem we use Boyle's law to correlate the varying volume and pressure at constant temperature. Assuming ideal gas law, we use the equation P1/V1= P2/V2. Substituting, 735 mm Hg/ P2= 63.5 ml/69.2 ml. P2 is equivalent thus to 800.97 mm Hg.

An oxygen atom has six electrons in its outermost energy level.
son4ous [18]
There must be two oxygen atoms to form covalent bond as when each oxygen atom contribute 4 electrons to the another, the atoms will become stable as they both have 8 electrons on the outermost shell. Refer to the dots and cross diagram i drew.

Explain why one molecule of nabh4 will reduce only two molecules of m acetylbenzaldehyde to form the corresponding product
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

One molecule of nabh4 will reduce only two molecules of m-acetylbenzaldehyde to form the corresponding product because there are only two functional groups that can react with NaBH4, namely the ketone and the aldehyde, but NaBH4 had four H present to protonate the molecule.

What is protonation?

An atom, molecule, or ion can be protonated by adding a proton to it. The difference between protonation and hydrogenation is that during protonation, the protonated species' charge changes, whereas it remains unchanged during hydrogenation. Numerous catalytic processes result in protonation.

A conjugate acid is created when a proton (or hydron, or hydrogen cation), (H+), is added to an atom, molecule, or ion. Deprotonation is the analogous process that occurs when a proton is taken out of a Bronsted-Lowry acid.
