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
Answer:
0.4
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of SrCl₂ consumed = ?
Mass of ZnCl₂ produced = 54 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
ZnSO₄ + SrCl₂ → SrSO₄ + ZnCl₂
Number of moles of ZnCl₂:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 54 g/136.3 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of ZnCl₂ with SrCl₂ from balance chemical equation.
ZnCl₂ : SrCl₂
1 : 1
0.4 : 0.4
Thus when 54 g of ZnCl₂ produced 0.4 moles of SrCl₂ react.
Answer:
gain or loses electrons.
Explanation:
Because the atom need to be balanced.
Answer:
2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.
