Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer so

lution with an optimum pH of 9.2−9.3? CH3COONa/CH3COOH (Ka = 1.8 x 10^−5) NH3/NH4Cl (Ka = 5.6 x 10^−10) NaOCl/HOCl (Ka = 3.2 x 10^−8) NaNO2/HNO2 (Ka = 4.5 x 10^−4) NaCl/HCl

Answer:

NH₃/NH₄Cl

Explanation:

We can calculate the pH of a buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}

If the concentration of the acid is equal to that of the base, the pH will be equal to the pKa of the buffer. The optimum range of work of pH is pKa ± 1.

Let's consider the following buffers and their pKa.

  • CH₃COONa/CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74)
  • NH₃/NH₄Cl (pKa = 9.25)
  • NaOCl/HOCl (pKa = 7.49)
  • NaNO₂/HNO₂ (pKa = 3.35)
  • NaCl/HCl Not a buffer

The optimum buffer is NH₃/NH₄Cl.

The theoretical yield for a reaction is 55.9 g LiCl. The actual yield is 24.6 g LiCl. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
xenn [34]
In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%

How are Kelvin scale and celcius scale similar <br>​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale. The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K − 273.15

Until 1954, 0 °C on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere; this close equivalence is taught in schools today. However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.
