To minimize the sharp ph shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution

Chemistry

adell [148]4 years ago
4 0
To minimize the sharp pH shift that occurs when a strong acid is added to a solution, IT IS PRACTICAL TO ADD A WEAK BASE.
When a strong acid is added to a solution, it usually brings about a sharp change in the pH of the concerned solution. To avoid this, one can add a  weak base to the solution first. The weak base will serves as a buffer for the strong acid and prevents the solution from experiencing sharp pH variations.

How many atoms are in 2.10 g of K? molar mass of K=39.10g/mole.
Alborosie

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms we must first calculate the number of moles

Molar mass = mass / number of moles

number of moles = mass / Molar mass

Molar mass (K) = 39.10mole

mass = 2.10g

number of moles = 2.10/ 39.10

= 0.0537mol

After that we use the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10^23 entities

Number of K atoms is

N = 0.0537 × 6.02 × 10^13

<h3>N = 3.23×10^22 atoms of K</h3>

Hope this helps you.

What is an example of kinetic energy? Question 7 options: A frisbee flying through the air A car in the garage A box sitting on
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Kinetic energy is energy that comes from motion. Anything that is currently in motion has kinetic energy.

Let’s look at each example to determine if they have kinetic energy.

First off, a car in the garage: let’s ask ourselves- Is the car in motion?
No, it is sitting in the garage. It is not moving; therefore it doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Next, a box sitting on a shelf: let’s ask ourselves the same question- Is the box in motion?
No, it is sitting on the shelf. Again, it is not moving. It doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Our third item is a ball lodged in a tree: again, we will ask ourselves the same question- Is the object moving?
No, it isn’t moving. Again, since it is not moving, it will not have kinetic energy.

Our last item is a frisbee flying through the air: asking ourselves the same question- Is it moving?
Yes, the object is moving. Yes, it has kinetic energy.

The frisbee flying through the air has kinetic energy.

Potassium chloride dissolved in pure water is an
postnew [5]

Answer:

A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent

Explanation:

Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.

If I helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

Write the balanced equation for a reaction between aqueous nitric acid (HNO3) and solid lithium metal (this is a single replacem
Lemur [1.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equation is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:

3Li(s)+4HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 3LiNO_3(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+NO(g)

This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.
