Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The more concentrated acetic acid buffer has a better buffer capacity because requires more moles of acid or base to change the pH than a more diluted acetic acid buffer.

Explanation:

Buffer capacity is defined as the moles of an acid or base that are needed to change the pH of a buffer in 1 unit.

A more concentrated solution of acetic buffer contains more moles of the acid per liter of solution. A solution that contains more moles of the acetic ion or the acetic acid requires more moles of base or acid to change the pH, that means:

The more concentrated acetic acid buffer has a better buffer capacity because requires more moles of acid or base to change the pH than a more diluted acetic acid buffer.

Gas Law- please help!!!
jekas [21]

The pressure of the carbon dioxide will be 0.09079 atm.

<h3>What is partial pressure?</h3>

The pressure exerted by the individual gas is known as partial pressure.

The partial pressure is given as

\rm P_{Total} = P_1 + P_2 + ...

In a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen, 40.0% of the gas pressure is exerted by oxygen.

If the total pressure is 115 mmHg.

The total pressure in atm will be

P = 115 mmHg

P = 0.15132 atm

We have

\rm P_T \ \  \  = P_{O_2} + P_{CO_2}\\\\0.15132 \ \  = 0.4 \times 0.15132 +P_{CO_2}\\\\ P_{CO_2} = 0.09079\ atm

Then the pressure of the carbon dioxide will be 0.09079 atm.

More about the partial pressure link is given below.
