Solutions of sodium acetate and acetic acid are combined in equal volume to produce a buffer. Identify the combination that will

produce the buffer with the highest buffer capacity. Select one: a. 0.01 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa b. 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa c. 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.01 M CH3COONa d. 0.01 M CH3COOH , 0.01 M CH3COONa

Answer:

Option b=> 0.1 M CH3COOH , 0.1 M CH3COONa.

Explanation:

In chemistry, when an acid or a base(alkali) is added to a solution and the solution pH does not change then we say that the solution is a BUFFER SOLUTION (that is a solution, upon the addition of acid or base will show resistance in pH value).

In order to be able to answer this question efficiently we have to consider the mathematical representation or Equation below;

pH = pKa + log ( [ A^-] / [HA] )--------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

What the mathematical representation or Equation (1) above is telling is is that if [A^-] or [HA] is high then there will be the production of buffer with higher buffer capacity.

The one that is being described above is what we call SCIENTIFIC LAW. Scientific law is what explains of what will happen every time in a certain situation. This is also different from scientific theory since scientific theory only gives an explanation to a group of happenings and this can still be modified. Hope this helps.

A student assistant is cleaning up after a chemistry laboratory exercise and finds three one-liter bottles containing alcohol so
Svetllana [295]

The approximate alcohol content is 210 ml.

Explanation:

It can be deduced from the question that each bottle is of 1000ml or 1 litre.

The first bottle is one half full means it has 500 ml of solution and it has 20% alcohol in it. So volume of alcohol in the solution is

20/100*500

=100 ml

The first bottle is one fifth full, so the volume of mixture is 1/5th of 1000ml

so it is 200ml having 30% alcohol

30/100*200

= 60 ml

The third bottle is one tenth full so its volume is 1/10*1000

100 ml.  having 50% of alcohol

50/100*100

50 ml.

The alcohol content obtained from all these 3 litres is:

100+60+50

= 210 ml of alchohol is obtained from 800 ml of mixture.

__ P4(s) + __ O2(g) → __ P4O10(s) To balance this reaction equation, first write correct formulas for the reactants and products
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

P4(s) + 5 O2 (g)→ P4O10

Explanation:

If we desire to write a balanced chemical reaction equation, the rule of thumb is simple; the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation. Once this condition is satisfied, the reaction equation is said to be balanced.

As we can see, we need one mole of P4 and five moles of O2 to produce one mole of P4O10.

Different measurements are expressed in different units. Choose the correct Sl units for the following types of measurement 3 Th
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The SI base units of length, mass, and time are the meter (m), kilogram (kg), and second (s), respectively. SI units are a metric system of units, meaning values can be calculated by factors of 10. Metric prefixes may be used with metric units to scale the base units to sizes appropriate for almost any application
