Preparation of small volumes of gases.
Answer:
i) Buffer absorbs H^+ and OH^- ions preventing large changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base is added but when large amounts of acid or base is added there will be a change in pH
ii) absorption of liquid is related to a chemical reaction for a buffer system but it is not related a chemical reaction for a proton( H ) sponge.
Explanation:
<u>i) Buffer like a proton ( H ) sponge </u>
Buffer absorbs H^+ and OH^- ions preventing large changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base is added but when large amounts of acid or base is added there will be a change in pH
The pH of a Buffer follows the Henderson-Hasselbach model
pH = pKa + Log ([A-]/[HA])
when base is added
HA + OH^- -------> A- + H2O
when acid is added
A^- + H^+ ---------> HA
<u>ii) Buffer not like a proton ( H ) sponge</u>
absorption of liquid is related to a chemical reaction for a buffer system but it is not related a chemical reaction for a proton( H ) sponge.
Answer:
The correct answer is : It is a salt because it is formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.
Explanation:
Sodium chloride is formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong acid (hydrochloric acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide):
HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H20
By reacting strong acid and base, they neutralize each other resulting in a salt (NaCl) and water.
Corresponds to an exothermic reaction (heat is released).
