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.

3. At a pressure of 405 kPa, the volume of a gas is 6.00 cm
monitta

The pressure gets increased to 486 kPa from 405 kPa, when the volume is decreased from 6 cm³ to 4 cm³.

Explanation:

In the present problem, the temperature is said to remain at constant and there is change in the pressure. So according to Boyle's law, the relationship between pressure and volume of any gaseous objects are inversely related to each other. In other words, the pressure attained by gas molecules in a container will be inversely proportional to the volume of the gas molecules occupied in the container, at constant temperature.

V=\frac{1}{P}

So, if two volumes V₁ and V₂ are considered, then their respective pressure will be represented as P₁ and P₂. Then, as per Boyle's law,

V_{1}P_{1}=V_{2}P_{2}

So let us consider, V₁ = 6 cm³ and V₂ = 4 cm³ and pressure P₁ = 405 kPa and we have to determine P₂.

Then,  6*405=5*P_{2}\\ \\P_{2}=\frac{2430}{5} =486 kPa

So, the pressure at new volume of 4 cm³ is 486 kPa. It can be seen that as there is decrease in the volume, there is an increase in the pressure. So it satisfied the Boyle's law.

Thus, the pressure gets increased to 486 kPa from 405 kPa, when the volume is decreased from 6 cm³ to 4 cm³.

Name the type of organic compound from each description of the functional group: (b) group that is not polar and has a double bo
krek1111 [17]

Some of the crucial functional groups in organic compounds are the hydroxyl, methyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and sulfhydryl groups. The formation of molecules including DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids depends heavily on these groups.

<h3>What is Function Group ?</h3>

In organic chemistry, a functional group is a collection of atoms within molecules that interact to cause predictable reactions. Functional groups include the hydroxyl, ketone, amine, and ether groups, for instance.

(b) Most double bonds, such those found in alkenes, are formed when two carbon atoms are present. In a carbonyl group, for instance, where a carbon atom and an oxygen atom are together, there are several double bonds connecting the two separate components. Sulfoxides (S=O), imines (C=N), and azo compounds (N=N) also include common double bonds.
