Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.
This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.
In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.
We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.
Thus, we can conclude that equation 
represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
PH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale that is used to show the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It tells how acidic or alkaline a substance is . The pH values ranges from 0 to 14, such that acidic solutions have values between 1 to 6.9 with most acidic having a pH value of 1 and those that are basic have values from 7.1 to 14, with most acidic having a value of 14. Acidic compounds contain replaceable hydrogen ions while basic compounds contain hrdroxyl ions. In this case, a coke has a pH of 3.5 (acidic) which means that it has an excess of hydrogen ions (H+) and would be called an acid.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
A) Yes. The reaction reaches equilibrium when the rate of reaction of the reverse reaction is equal to the rate of the forward reaction , then the only cause for the reverse reaction to be favoured is that the initial rate of the reverse was greater than the forward one.
B) No. The rate constant of the reverse reaction can be greater than the forward one but the rate also depends on concentrations, thus a reverse reaction with greater rate constant can result in the net reaction proceeding in the forward reaction, the reverse reaction or be at equilibrium depending on the concentrations or reactants and products
C) No. A lower activation energy means a higher rate constant , but a higher rate constant does not mean that the net reaction will proceed to the reactants ( see point B)
D) No. The energy changes determine conditions under thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore the net direction of the reaction will depend on the temperature and concentrations of reactants and products with respect to the equilibrium conditions.
Answer:
Molality = 7.5 mol/kg
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of NH₄Cl = 6.30 g
Mass of water = 15.7 g (15.7/1000 =0.016 kg)
Molality = ?
Solution:
Formula of molality:
Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram
Now we will first calculate the number of moles of solute( NH₄Cl )
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Molar mass of NH₄Cl = 53.491 g/mol
Number of moles = 6.30 g/ 53.491 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.12 mol
Now we will calculate the molality.
Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram
Molality = 0.12 mol / 0.016 kg
Molality = 7.5 m
or (m=mol/kg)
Molality = 7.5 mol/kg
