Answer:

11.31g NaClO₂

Explanation:

<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =

<h3>11.31g NaClO₂</h3>

How many coppers of each atom in the products
yarga [219]

Answer:

Explanation:

moler mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol. Since 63.546 g of copper has 6.022 x 10 power(23) atoms (Avogadro's number). = 9.5 x 10(power)21 atoms of copper.

What process produces the sediments that ultimately lead to soil formation
Vikentia [17]
The process by which rocks are broken down to form soil is called weathering. It is divided into 3 types, physical, chemical and biological weathering.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down as a result of physical agitations. It is also called mechanical weathering and during this process the chemical nature of the rock is not affected. Biological weathering has to do with the weakening of rocks and their eventual disintegration as a result of plants and animals activities. Chemical weathering refers to the disintegration of the rock particles as a result of chemical reactions.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Alchemy is a practice of making gold from other metals.

Explanation:

Alchemy is a method which is practiced by the ancient scientists of Europe, Africa and Asia trying to produced gold from other metals. This method was failed to produced gold from metals and all scientist suggested that metals can not be converted into gold. Greeks were the people who presented the theory of alchemy in the first few centuries of CE.
