Of the following solutions, which has the greatest buffering capacity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d. 0.121 M HC2H3O2 and 0.116 M NaC2H3O2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH variation is analyzed via the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} )

We can infer that the nearer to 1 the ratio of of the concentration of the base to the concentration of the acid the better the buffering capacity. In such a way, since the sodium acetate is acting as the base and the acetic acid as the acid, we have:

a. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.497M}{0.365M}=1.36

b. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.217M}{0.521M}=0.417

c. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.713M}{0.821M}=0.868

d. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.116M}{0.121M}=0.959

Therefore, the d. solution has the best buffering capacity.

Regards.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Option 1 and 11

1. Organic solvents are often flammable.

II. Organic solvents are often toxic.

Explanation:

Organic solvents are often flammable and Organic solvents are often toxic are the reasons why organic chemistry is a primary target of green chemistry because green chemistry is the use of principles or approach to remove hazardous or toxic substances from chemical.profuctd or processes to make them fit or safe for use and the solvents of organic chemist are toxic, therefore green chemistry remove the toxic substances.

Describe three types of POTENTIAL ENERGY
Arada [10]

There are three different forms of potential energy. The rock hanging above the ground has a form of stored energy called gravitational potential energy. This form of energy is due to the downward pull of Earth's gravity. ... When you stretch a rubber band, the elastic potential energy of the rubber band increases.

In order for a process to be spontaneous, Multiple Choice the entropy of the surroundings must increase. the entropy of the surr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is entropy change of the surrounding plus the entropy change of the system must be positive.

Explanation:

The term entropy is a state function.Entropy can be defined as the disorder or randomness of the molecules in a system.

 A spontaneous reaction is a type of reaction which deals with the release of free energy.The change of free energy in case of spontaneous reaction is always negative.

 According to the second law of thermodynamics a spontaneous reaction will occur in a system if the total entropy of both  system and surrounding increases during the reaction.
