What concentrations of acetic acid (pKa = 4.76) and acetate would be required to prepare a 0.15 M buffer solution at pH 5.0? Not

e that the concentration and/or pH value may differ from that in the first question. STRATEGY 1. Rearrange the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to solve for the ratio of base (acetate) to acid (acetic acid), [A–]/[HA]. 2. Use the mole fraction of acetate to calculate the concentration of acetate. 3. Calculate the concentration of acetic acid. Step 1: Rearrange the Henderson Hasselbalch equation to solve for (A-)/(HA) if the solution is at ph 5.0

Answer:

Acetic acid 0,055M and acetate 0,095M.

Explanation:

It is possible to prepare a 0,15M buffer of acetic acid/acetate at pH 5,0 using Henderson-Hasselblach formula, thus:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA] <em>-Where A⁻ is acetate ion and HA is acetic acid-</em>

Replacing:

5,0 = 4,76 + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA]

<em>1,7378 =  [A⁻]/[HA] </em><em>(1)</em>

As concentration of buffer is 0,15M, it is possible to write:

<em>[A⁻] + [HA] = 0,15M </em><em>(2)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

1,7378[HA] + [HA] = 0,15M

2,7378[HA] = 0,15M

[HA] = 0,055M

Thus, [A⁻] = 0,095M

That means you need <em>acetic acid 0,055M</em> and <em>acetate 0,095M</em> to obtain the buffer you need.

i hope it helps!

In redox reactions, _____________ occurs when electrons are lost by a molecule. ______________ occurs when electrons are gained
madam [21]

Answer:

Oxidation, Reduction

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a short form for reduction-oxidation.

Reduction is a term which means that electron is gained while oxidation is a term which means that electron Is lost.

The species that gain electron is known as the oxidizing agent while the species losing electrons is known as the reducing agent

What is the polarity of black pepper
leva [86]

Answer:

Polarity in chemistry referred to physical properties of compounds related to solubility, melting and boiling properties.

Polarity of black pepper can be seen when black pepper is sprinkled on water. The balck pepper float on water and get displaced if touched.

It means black pepper is non-polar and have no difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms. Black pepper is so light in weight and non-polar, the surface tension of water keep it floating in the water.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1.37cm
