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

Chemistry

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.

Rus_ich [418]
1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of a 300.0
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Q = 1455.12 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 300 grams

Initial temperature = 22.3

Final temperature = 59.9°C

Specific heat capacity = 0.129 J/gºC.

To find the quantity of energy;

Q = mcdt

Where,

Q represents the heat capacity.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 59.9 - 22.3

dt = 37.6°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 300*0.129*37.6

Q = 1455.12 Joules.

While a certain isotope decays, it emits photons. What kind of decay is happening?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for humans so care not to get caught in them.
