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!

What phase(s) would you expect to observe when the substance is at a temperature of 275 kelvin?
pychu [463]
The phase of a substance at a temperature of 275 K or 1.85 degrees Celsius can be any of the three phases namely a solid, a liquid and a gas. This depends on the pressure where the substance is subjected. Also, the phase can be determined by a phase diagram where it shows the phase of a certain substance at a specific temperature and pressure.

Answer: 1.  C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B)  NH_3

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: NH_3

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: Mg_3N_2 , AlCl_3 and LiBr

3.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas F_2
