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.

If we react 5.4g of sodium chloride with an unknown amount of fluorine gas, we produce 4.9g of sodium fluoride and 3.7g chlorine
Bumek [7]

Answer:

4.43 g

Explanation:

The reaction between sodium chloride and flourine gas is given as;

NaCl + F2 --> NaF + Cl2

From the stochiometry of the equation;

1 mol of NaCl reacts eith 1 mol of F2 to form 1 mol of NaF and Cl2

Mass of 1 mol of F2 = 38g

Mass of 1 mol of sodium flouride, NaF = 42g

This means 38g of flourine reacted with NaCl to form 42g of NaF

xg of F2 would form 4.9g of NaF

38 = 42

x = 4.9

x = 4.9 * 38 / 42

x = 4.43 g

1)
-Lithium: Lithium got 3 protons, so it atomic number is 3. It is located on the first column of the periodic table, and belonging to the alkali metal. So lithium is a metal. Lithium is highly reactive.
-Neon: It is located on the 18th column of the periodic table, and belong to the noble gases. So Neon is a nonmetal. Neon's reactivity is very low.
-Fluorine: Located on the 17th column of the periodic metal, fluorine is a nonmetal, and belong to the halogen family. Fluorine's reactivity is high.

2)
-Vertical columns of the periodic table are called columns. There is 18 column in the periodic table, and each one represent a chemical family.
-Horizontal rows of the periodic table care called periods. There is 7 periods in the periodic table.
-The number of protons in an atom is that element's atomic number. And since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So if you have the number of electrons, you can still find the atomic number.
-The total of protons and neutrons in an atom is that element's atomic mass. Based on the formula A = Z + N, where A represents the atomic mass, Z the atomic number (number of protons) and N the number of neutrons.
-The elements in group 1 are the most reactive metals. This group is called the Alkali metals. They only have 1 electron in their outer shell which makes them always ready to lose an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals. This group is called the Halogens, with 7 electrons in their outer shell which makes them always ready to win an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 18 are the most unreactive elements. This group is called the Noble gases. Their outer shell is always full, so it can't do reactions.

Hope this Helps! :)

What is refraction? * Bending of light<br> Reflection of light
sdas [7]
Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows. Even our eyes depend upon this bending of light. Hope this helps!
