Marine regression means that, submerged sea floor are exposed. It exposes the sea bottom while the transgression may result into flooding. A sea level transgression or marine transgression means when the water level or sea level arises in land, it also means that the sea level will move towards higher land.

Transgression is when the sea-level rises, pushing the coast line inland. Regression is the sea-level falling, pushing the coastline out towards the ocean.

Answer:

Demonstrate familiarity with the pH scale ... body (excluding things like stomach acid) measure around 7.2 and 7.6 on the pH scale (a 7 is neutral on the scale). ... The pH of a solution is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity (base). ... Using a pH meter, you find the pH of an unknown solution to be 8.0.

If a buffer contains 1.05M B and 0.750M BH+ has the pH of 9.5. What would be the pH after 0.005mol of HCL is added to 0.5L of so

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Final pH: 9.49.

Round to two decimal places as in the question: 9.5.

Explanation:

The conjugate of B is a cation that contains one more proton than B. The conjugate of B is an acid. As a result, B is a weak base.

What's the pKb of base B?

Consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers of a weak base and its conjugate acid ion.

$\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}$ .

$\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH}$ .

$\text{pK}_w = 14$ .

$\text{pOH} = 14 - 9.5 = 4.5$

$\displaystyle \text{pK}_b = \text{pOH} -\log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}}\\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} = 4.5 - \log{\frac{0.750}{1.05}} \\\phantom{\text{pK}_b} =4.64613$ .

What's the new salt-to-base ratio?

The 0.005 mol of HCl will convert 0.005 mol of base B to its conjugate acid ion BH⁺.

Initial:

$n(\text{B}) = c\cdot V = 1.05 \times 0.5 = 0.525\;\text{mol}$ ;
$n(\text{BH}^{+}) = c\cdot V = 0.750 \times 0.5 = 0.375\;\text{mol}$ .

After adding the HCl:

$n(\text{B}) = 0.525 - 0.005 = 0.520\;\text{mol}$ ;
$n(\text{BH}^{+}) = 0.375+ 0.005 = 0.380\;\text{mol}$ .

Assume that the volume is still 0.5 L:

$\displaystyle [\text{B}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.520}{0.5} = 1.04\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .
$\displaystyle [\text{BH}^{+}] = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.380}{0.5} = 0.760\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

What's will be the pH of the solution?

Apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation again:

$\displaystyle \text{pOH} = \text{pK}_b + \log{\frac{[\text{Salt}]}{[\text{Base}]}} = 4.64613 + \log{\frac{0.760}{1.04}} = 4.50991$

$\text{pH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pOH}= 14 - 4.50991 = 9.49$ .

The final pH is slightly smaller than the initial pH. That's expected due to the hydrochloric acid. However, the change is small due to the nature of buffer solutions: adding a small amount of acid or base won't significantly impact the pH of the solution.
