A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC₂H₃O₂(aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC₂H₃O₂(aq). The solution is stirred and its pH

is measured to be 4.73. After 3 drops of 1.0 M HCl are added to the solution, the pH of the solution is measured and is still 4.73. Which of the following equations represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH?
(A) H_3O^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) \rightarrow 2 H_2O(l)
(B) H_3O^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) \rightarrow HCl(g) + H_2O(l)
(C) H_3O^+(aq) + C_2H_3O_2^-(aq) \rightarrow HC_2H_3O_2(aq) + H_2O(l)
(D) H_3O^+(aq) + HC_2H_3O_2(aq) \rightarrow H_2C_2H_3O^+(aq) + H_2O(l)

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.

We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that equation H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}(aq) \rightarrow HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.

Given 6 moles of CuCl2, how many moles of AlCl, were made? SHOW the math below​
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

6 moles of CuCl₂  will produced 4 moles of  AlCl₃ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of CuCl₂ = 6 mole

Moles of AlCl₃ produced = ?

Solution:

3CuCl₂ + 2Al → 2AlCl₃ + 3Cu

Now we will compare the moles of CuCl₂ with AlCl₃ .

            CuCl₂        :        AlCl₃

                3            :          2

                6           :         2/3 ×6 = 4 mol

So, 6 moles of CuCl₂  will produced 4 moles of  AlCl₃ .

How does a hydroelectric power plant convert energy?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. As water flows through the channels toward the turbines, it has kinetic energy. This is changed to mechanical energy as the water turns the turbines. Then the mechanical energy of the turbines is changed to electrical energy by the generator.

Explanation:

I hope this helps. :)

What is diffusion?<br>Class 9th <br>Chemistry <br><br><br><br><br>​
tester [92]

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration . Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place . Diffusion is an important process for living things ; it is how substances move in and out of cells .

A sample in the laboratory is found to contain 3.36 grams of hydrogen, 20.00 grams of carbon, and 26.64 grams of oxygen. The mol
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H            :         O

           1.7/1.7                :     3.3/1.7       :       1.7/1.7

              1                     :           2          :        1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆
