Answer:

Lower the pH several units

Explanation:

Typically, a buffer system would minimize changes in pH values with additions of strong acid or base. However, one should realize buffer systems do have limits. The limits are dictated by the amount of common ion in the buffer solution mix. The chemistry of the buffer and common ion functions to remove the excess strong acid or base added. However, if more strong acid or strong base is added that exceeds the capacity of the buffer solution to remove the an excess acid or base solution would result and pH values would change drastically.

In this problem, perchloric acid (HClO₄) is a strong acid delivering hydronium ion in an amount equal to the amount of perchloric acid noted in the problem.

Since the concentration of perchloric acid (HClO₄) and H⁺ ion exceeds the concentration of available acetate ion in the buffer solution, the buffer effect would be exhausted before removing all of the HClO₄. The remaining HClO₄ would then function to drastically reduce the pH of the remaining solution several units before stabilizing.

The 0.443M HOAc/0.332M NaOAc buffer before addition of the HClO₄ has a pH of 4.62.  Adding 0.365M in HClO₄ would cause the HOAc equilibrium to shift left because of the H⁺ overload. This shift would continue until all of the strong acid was removed or all of the conjugate base is exhausted by converting back to HOAc. That is, adding 0.365M HClO₄ removes all 0.332M OAc⁻ leaving 0.365M - 0.332M = 0.033M excess HClO₄. The pH of a 0.033M HClO₄ solution => pH = -logs[H⁺] = -log(0.033) = 1.48.

=> compare pH before adding acid = 4.62 to pH after adding acid = 1.48.

When sulfur burns, it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2). Its chemical reaction is S + O2 → SO2.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2.

Explanation:

This can be explained by the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>. This law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Knowing this, we can say that the reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal to the products.

In this case, the reactants Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2) must equal the mass of the product Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Therefore, the statement <em>"The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2" </em>is correct.

Use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of their behavior when dissolved in water. Give an
forsale [732]
<span>Bases and Acids are chemically opposite from each other,and there are multiple ways to distinguish how they react when dissolved in water. One accepted definition is that an acid is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution with hydrogen ion activity greater than pure/neutral water. That is, it donates a proton to the solution. Any substance with a pH less than 7.0 is an acid, and includes substances such as vinegar and lemon juice. By comparison, a base is any chemical substance that, when it is dissolved in water, creates a solution in which has hydrogen ion activity less than pure/neutral water. That is, it accepts protons. Any substance with a pH greater than 7.0 is a base, and includes substances such as ammonia and baking soda.</span>
