Answer:

The pH is 7.54

Explanation:

The Henderson - Hasselbalch equation states that for a buffer solution which consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base, the buffer pH is given by:

pH =pk_{a} +log(\frac{[conjugate base]}{[weakacid]})

pkₐ is for the acid

In this case, the buffer hypochlorous acid  HClO is a weak acid, and its conjugate base is the hypochlorite anion ClO⁻  is delivered to the solution via sodium hypochlorite NaClO .

NaCIO = 0.200 M

HCIO = 0.200 M

pkₐ = -log₁₀ kₐ = -log₁₀ (2.9 × 10⁻⁸) = 7.54

∴pH = =7.54 +log\frac{0.2}{0.2} = 7.54

What is the effect of adding more CO2 to the following equilibrium reaction? CO2 + H2O H2CO3 A. More H2CO3 is produced. B. More
Gre4nikov [31]
I think the answer is D no change. Though you add more CO2, but the pressure is not mentioned. If the pressure is constant and the reaction is already balanced, the H2O is also saturation and can not absorb more CO2.

Perform the following
docker41 [41]

Answer:

8.73

Explanation:

when you are adding or subtracting numbers, the sigfig (significant figure) is based on how many numbers after the decimal. with this info, we can see that 15.67 has 2 sigfigs and 6.943 has 3 sigfigs. when you subtract normally, you would get 8.727, which has 3 sigfigs, so you would round the last 7 up to get 8.73 with 2 sigfigs!

also it is to 2 sigfigs because we know that we go by the least number of sigfigs. hope this helped!

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

Calculate the theoretical yield of ammonia produced by the reaction of 100 g of H2 gas and 200g of N2 gas? 3H2(g) + N2(g)-----&g
Alex787 [66]
Moles of Hydrogen present: 100 / 2 = 50 moles

Moles of Nitrogen present: 200 / 28 = 7.14 moles

Hydrogen required by given amount of nitrogen = 7.14 x 3 = 21.42 moles

Hydrogen is excess so we will calculate the Ammonia produced using Nitrogen.

Molar ratio of Nitrogen : Ammonia = 1 : 2

Moles of ammonia = 7.14 x 2 = 14.28 moles
