Answer:

None of the additions will exceed the capacity of the buffer.

Explanation:

As we know a buffer has the ability to resist pH changes when small amounts of strong acid or base are added.

The pH of the buffer is given by the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

where A⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid HA.

Now we can see that what is important is the ratio [A⁻] / [HA] to resist a pH change brought about by the addition of acid or base.

It follows then that once we have consumed by neutralization reaction either the acid or conjugate base in the buffer, this will lose its ability to act as such and the pH will increase or decrease dramatically by any added acid or base.

Therefore to solve this question we must determine the number of moles of acid HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ we have in the buffer and compare it with the added acid or base to see if it will deplete one of these species.

Volume buffer = 500.0 mL = 0.5 L

# mol HNO₂ = 0.5 L x 0.100 mol/L = 0.05 mol HNO₂

# mol NO₂⁻ = 0.5 L x 0.150 mol/L = 0.075 mol NO₂⁻

a. If we add 250 mg NaOH (0.250 g)

molar mass NaOH =40 g/mol

# mol NaOH =0.250 g/ 40g/mol = 0.0063 mol

0.0063 mol NaOH will be neutralized by 0.0063 mol HNO₂ and we have plenty of it, so it would not exceed the capacity of the buffer.

b. If we add 350 mg KOH (0.350 g)

molar mass KOH =56.10 g

# mol KOH = 0.350 g/56.10 g/mol = 0.0062 mol

Again the capacity of the buffer will not be exceeded since we have 0.05 mol HNO₂ in the buffer.

c. If we add 1.25 g HBr

molar mass HBr = 80.91 g/mol

# mol HBr = 1.25 g / 80.91 g/mol = 0.015 mol

0.015 mol Hbr will neutralize 0.015 mol NO₂⁻ and we have to start with 0.075 mol in the buffer, therefore the capacity will not be exceeded.

d. If we add 1.35 g HI

molar mass HI = 127.91 g/mol

# mol HI = 1.35 g / 127.91 g/mol = 0.011 mol

Again the capacity of the buffer will not be exceed since we have plenty of it in the buffer after the neutralization reaction.

The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80
ZanzabumX [31]
The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

             A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

             A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

           A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

sample of atmospheric gas collected at an industrial site is stored in a 250 mL amber glass bottle that has a pressure of 1.02 a
Nady [450]

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.

Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.

Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:

P_1T_2=P_2T_1

Where, T_1 and T_2 are initial and final temperatures, P_1 and P_2 are initial and final pressures.

T_1 = 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K

T_2 = -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K

P_1 = 1.02 atm

T_2  = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.

1.02atm(271.15K)=P_2(293.45K)

P_2=\frac{1.02atm*271.15K}{293.45K}

P_2 = 0.942 atm

So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.
