Answer : The pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86

Explanation : Given,

pK_a=6.86

Concentration of acid = 0.1 M

Concentration of conjugate base (salt) = 0.1 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=6.86+\log (\frac{0.1}{0.1})

pH=6.86

Therefore, the pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86

Answer:

A. The rate of heat transfer through the material would increase.

Explanation:

To calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger you decide that there is not heat leakage to the surroundings, that means that  magnitude of the two transfer rates will be equal. Any heat lost by the hot fluid, is gained by the cold fluid. The equation that describes this is Q = m×Cp×dT

Where:

heat = mass flow ×specific heat capacity × temperature difference

So if we increase the rate of flow of cooling water and the other variables that ypu can control remain the same, the result is that the rate of heat transfer through the material would increase, as it is stated in option a.

What happens when you drop iodine on a leaf?
insens350 [35]
When you drop iodine on a leaf you may observe a colour change of orange/brown to a blue/black complex.

This is because in the leaf there are starch molecules that form a blue/black complex with the starch molecules.

hope that helps :)

Leokris [45]
Hydrogen is the limiting reactant because when doing a stoichiometry equation for the reactants, hydrogen will be used completely by having a smaller yield and oxygen will be excess (7 moles to be exact)

Methanol (CH3OH) has a boiling point of -97°C. Methane (CH4) has a boiling point of -162°C. Which type of bonding explains why m
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer is: hydrogen bonding.

Methanol has stronger intermolecular bonds than methane.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.
