<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70

[\text{conjuagate base}]} = moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles

[\text{acid}]  = Moles of acid = 4.00 moles

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.70+\log(\frac{3.25}{4.00})\\\\pH=4.61

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61

Answer:

The creation of regulations that limit timber activities and the exploitation of wood can prevent soil erosion in Troy.

Explanation:

The exploitation of the wood was an intense activity and that did not have any regulation that would limit its damages, caused by its exploratory activities.

As the timber market was totally undisciplined, the exploitation of the wood caused a strong deforestation, leaving the soil totally unprotected and susceptible to strong erosion.

Soil erosion has a very negative impact on the environment, requiring regulations to be made to prevent this from happening.

Based on this, we can say that one way to prevent environmental problems in the seaport of troy is by establishing laws and regulations that limit logging activities.
