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.

How is the pH of an acidic substance raised?
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solution.

An acid based on the pH scale is a substance that has a low pH. Acid lies within a range of 1-7 on the pH scale.

  • A pH of 7 is for neutral compounds like water.
  • A pH greater that 7 is for basic compounds.
  • In order to raise the pH, we are driving at a substance becoming more neutral or basic.

This can be achieved by adding more base to the solution of the substance. When we add more base, hydroxyl ions will neutralize the excess hydroxonium ions and drag the pH towards that of neutrality.

Addition of more base can eventually make the substance basic.

Which plate, oceanic or continental, must be more dense?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Oceanic & Continental Plates

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It's sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone. The continental plate is less dense and floats over the top of it since it is more buoyant

Suppose that 7.25 x 10^22 atoms of a hypothetical element have a mass of 3.88 g. What would be the molar mass (g/mol) of this el
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

32.23 to 4 significant figures.

Explanation:

The molar mass of the element is the mass of 6.022 * 10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number).

So by proportion it is 6.022 * 10^23 * 3.88 / 7.25 * 10^22

= 32.23 to 4 significant figures.

Why was it important to establish the Clean Air Act?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act was enacted in 1973 and brought to action in 1990. The act was passed to supervise air emissions to ensure clean air and atmosphere for people. The act was passed in the wake of premature deaths of hundred of thousands people. The act works with NAAQS to ensure safe and clean air for the safety of public health.

<u>From the given options the correct one is C. The Clean Air Act supervises the activities which emits air and any activities that is found to pollute the air will be labelled as illegal</u>.

Therefore, option C is correct.
