Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate

Explanation:

Characteristics of good solvent choice for the recrystallization.

1. Water has low solubility of benzoic acid at room temperature.

2. Cold water's low solubility of  benzoic acid allows for the high concentration production of crystal. And these crystals could be easily soluble in hot water.

3. Water dissolves soluble impurities well at  the room temperature.

Explanation:

It is known that a compound is soluble when the boiling point of the solvent is high. Whereas at normal temperature of the solvent it will have low solubility.

And, if the solute is highly soluble into the solvent at normal temperature then it is difficult to recrystallize the solute.

Hence, in order to recrystallize the solute particles it is necessary that impurities will be highly soluble at the room temperature or they should remain insoluble into the hot solvent.

As a result, there will not take place any reaction between the solute and solvent.

Since, benzoic acid is non-polar in nature and water is a polar solvent so, it will not easily dissolve in water. Therefore, it will readily evaporate in order to give the pure compound.

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Would gallium, atomic #31, likely form a action or an anion?
Stolb23 [73]
Assuming you meant cation and not action, gallium would most likely form a cation because it is a group A element
