Explanation:

It is known that K_{a} of HNO_{2} = 4.5 \times 10^{-4}.

(a)  Relation between K_{a} and pK_{a} is as follows.

                       pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

                      pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})

                                    = -log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})

                                     = 3.347

Also, relation between pH and  pK_{a} is as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}

                     = 3.347+ log \frac{0.15}{0.12}

                    = 3.44

Therefore, pH of the buffer is 3.44.

(b)   No. of moles of HCl added = Molarity \times volume

                                            = 11.6 M \times 0.001 L

                                             = 0.0116 mol

In the given reaction, NO^{-}_{2} will react with H^{+} to form HNO_{2}

Hence, before the reaction:

No. of moles of NO^{-}_{2} = 0.15 M \times 1.0 L

                                           = 0.15 mol

And, no. of moles of HNO_{2} = 0.12 M \times 1.0 L

                                               = 0.12 mol

On the other hand, after the reaction :  

No. of moles of NO^{-}_{2} = moles present initially - moles added

                                          = (0.15 - 0.0116) mol

                                          = 0.1384 mol

Moles of HNO_{2} = moles present initially + moles added

                               = (0.12 + 0.0116) mol

                                = 0.1316 mol

As, K_{a} = 4.5 \times 10^{-4}

           pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})

                         = -log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})

                         = 3.347

Since, volume is both in numerator and denominator, we can use mol instead of concentration.

As, pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}

            = 3.347+ log {0.1384/0.1316}

            = 3.369

            = 3.37 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pH after the addition of 1.00 mL of 11.6 M HCl to 1.00 L of the buffer solution is 3.37.

inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

  • Ca-calcium

\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%

  • C-carbon

\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%

  • O-oxygen

\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%

Calculate and explain (in words) how you would make 90.0 mL of 2.0 M MgSO4 solution from a solid solute MgSO4.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

See Below.

Explanation:

Recall that molarity is defined by moles of solute over liters of solution (mol/L).

Therefore, to make 90.0 mL of 2.0 M MgSO₄, we will need:

\displaystyle 90.0\text{ mL} \cdot \frac{2.0\text{ mol MgSO$_4$}}{1\text{ L}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ L}}{1000\text{ mL}} = 0.18\text{ mol MgSO$_4$}

Convert this amount to grams. The molecular weight of MgSO₄ is 120.38 g/mol:

\displaystyle 0.18\text{ mol MgSO$_4$} \cdot \frac{120.38\text{ g MgSO$_4$}}{1\text{ mol MgSO$_4$}} = 22\text{ g MgSO$_4$}

Therefore, to make the solution, we can add 22 grams of MgSO₄ into a graduated cylinder, then mix and dilute the solution with distilled water until we reach 90.0 mL.

Explain three ways in which the sugar revolution impacted on the caribbean​
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<u><em>During the colonial period, the arrival of sugar culture deeply impacted the society and economy in the Caribbean. It not only dramatically increased the ratio of slaves to free men, but it increased the average size of slave plantations</em></u>

<u><em>The negative impact of the slave trade on the development of the Caribbean islands. The slave trade had long lasting negative effects on the islands of the Caribbean. The native peoples, the Arawaks, were wiped out by European diseases and became replaced with West Africans</em></u>

<u><em>The sugar revolutions were both cause and consequence of the demographic revolution. Sugar production required a greater labor supply than was available through the importation of European servants and irregularly supplied African slaves</em></u>

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)
