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

8. The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to:
dedylja [7]

The best way to obtain pure, solid household salt from a solid mixture of household salt and sand is to "add water, stir, filter and evaporate the filtrate".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The salt and sand can be separated on the basis of solubility, as we know the salt is chemically known as sodium chloride, which have good solubility in water. The most general method is the mixture is taken into a flask or beaker and water is added with stirring, where salt get dissolved and sand remain as it is, because NaCl is capable enough to form hydrogen bonding with water, while sand have absence of such property. Then this solution containing insoluble sand is filtered by using filter paper. The sand is received in filter paper while filtrate in beaker is evaporated by boiling it in order to receive salt as residue.

What is the cell potential of an electrochemical cell that has the half -reactions shown below? Ni^ 2+ +2e Ni A| A|^ 3+ +3e^ -
Nadya [2.5K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 1.4 V

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the half reactions;

Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e → Ni(s)

Al(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3e

We are required to determine the cell potential of an electrochemical cell with the above half-reactions.

E°cell = E(red) - E(ox)

From the above reaction;

Ni²⁺ underwent reduction(gain of electrons) to form Ni

Al on the other hand underwent oxidation (loss of electrons) to form Al³⁺

The E.m.f of Ni/Ni²⁺ is -0.25 V and that of Al/Al³⁺ is -1.66 V

Therefore;

E°cell = -0.25 V - (-1.66 V)

         = -0.250V + 1.66 V

         = + 1.41 V

         = + 1.4 V

Therefore, the cell potential will be +1.4 V

Physical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an odorless, white crystalline solid or fine powder. It has a slightly alkaline taste. Its density is 2.20 g mL-1 and it decomposes in temperatures above 50 ºC. The decomposition yields to sodium carbonate. It is highly soluble in water and poorly soluble in acetone and methanol. It is insoluble in ethanol.

Chemical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compounds, it means the compound has a character acids an basic at the same time.  It is highly soluble in water, resulting in a slighty alkaline solution.


i hope this part helps i will continue to research on Toothpaste's properties
