A catalyst will ALWAYS increase the reaction rate so C
Answer: -
Organic compounds consisting of only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons are used by us for mainly as a source of energy. Hydrocarbons make up gasoline which is used as fuel in automobiles.
Hydrocarbons depending on the type of unsaturation can be of three types - alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
The labeled diagram is given in the image attached.
As it can be seen from the image that freezing is when energy is removed from the system at 0 ⁰ while melting is when energy is added at 0⁰.
Also when energy is added at 100⁰C, it causes boiling while when it is removed at 100⁰C, it causes condensation.
Melting point of water is 0⁰C while boiling point is 100⁰C
Answer :
(1) pH = 1.27
(2) pH = 13.35
(3) The given solution is not a buffer.
Explanation :
<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>
Concentration of HCl = 
As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.
So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= 
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)


<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>
Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M
As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.
So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
![pOH=-\log [OH^-]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BOH%5E-%5D)


Now we have to calculate the pH.

<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>
Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.
It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.
As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.
So, the given solution is not a buffer.
