In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced from the combustion of 250.G of ethane, C3H8 in the reaction C3H8 +5O2 - 3CO2 +4H2
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

750 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ —> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Next, we shall determine the mass of C₃H₈ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of C₃H₈ = (12×3) + (8×1)

= 36 + 8 = 44 g/mol

Mass of C₃H₈ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16×2)

= 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 3 × 44 = 132 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

44 g of C₃H₈ reacted to produce 132 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 250 g of C₃H₈. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

44 g of C₃H₈ reacted to produce 132 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 250 g of C₃H₈ will react to produce = (250 × 132)/44 = 750 g of CO₂.

Thus, 750 g of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.

Provide the structure of the major product which results from 1,4-addition of br2 to the diene shown below.
Vlad1618 [11]
The image provided shows the diene that is used for this question. We are told that the major product of the reaction is the 1,4-addition product. The result is the addition of a bromine atom to the first carbon and the fourth carbon of the diene. However, Br₂ can also add to just one alkene of the diene in a 1,2-addition to get the other product shown in the image.

As the first bromine atom adds to one of the alkenes, it adds to the first carbon which leads to the formation of a carbocation. The carbocation can be a stable tertiary center at the 2 carbon of the diene, or the less stable secondary center of the 4 carbon. To addition to the 4-carbon has a higher activation barrier which, but the product has a lower energy than the 1,2-product. Therefore, the 1,4-addition is the thermodynamic product and will form at higher temperatures. The 1,2-product is the kinetic product that will form at lower temperatures.
