Answer:

B. 0.174

Explanation:

A buffer is formed by a weak acid (CH₃COOH) and its conjugate base (CH₃COO⁻, coming from sodium acetate). We can calculate the pH of this buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

pH = pKa + log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

pH - pKa = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

3.98 - (-log 1.80 × 10⁻⁵) = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

-0.760 = log [CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH]

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = anti log (-0.760)

[CH₃COO⁻]/[CH₃COOH] = 0.174

1. The solubility of AgNO3 at 20°C is 222.0g AgNO3/100g H2O. What mass of AgNO3 can be dissolved in 250 g of water at 20°C? Reca
neonofarm [45]

Answer :

(1) The mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

(2) The solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L

<u>Solution for Part 1 :</u>

From the given data we conclude that

In 100 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = 222 g

In 250 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = \frac{222}{100}\times 250=555g

Therefore, the mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

<u>Solution for Part 2 :</u>

Formula used : S_1P_1=S_2P_2     (at constant temperature)

where,

S_1 = initial solubility of methane gas = 0.026 g/L

S_2 = final solubility of methane gas

P_1 = initial pressure of methane gas = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of methane gas = 0.06 atm

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the solubility of methane gas.

(0.026g/L)\times (1atm)=S_2\times (0.06atm)

S_2=0.433g/L

Therefore, the solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L

Does gasoline (C8H12) have polar or non-polar molecules?
Archy [21]

Answer:

non polar molecules

Explanation:

Ethyl alcohol will dissolve in water in all proportions because the polar molecules interact with each other freely. In contrast, gasoline is a nonpolar molecule.  hope that helped...
