Answer:- (a)The pH of the buffer solution is 3.90.

(b) the pH of the solution after addition of HCl would be 3.60.

(c) the pH of the buffer solution after addition of NaOH is 4.32.

Solution:- (a) It is a buffer solution so the pH could easily be calculated using Handerson equation:

pH=Pka+log(\frac{base}{acid})

pKa can be calculated from given Ka value as:

pKa=-logKa

pKa=-log(6.3*10^-^5)

pKa = 4.20

let's plug in the values in the Handerson equation:

pH=4.20+log(\frac{0.025}{0.05})

pH = 4.20 - 0.30

pH = 3.90

The pH of the buffer solution is 3.90.

(b) Let's say the acid is represented by HA and the base is represented by A^- .

Original mili moles of HA from part a = 0.05(100) = 5

original mili moles of A^- from part a = 0.025(100) = 2.5

mili moles of HCl that is H^+ added = 0.100(10.0) = 1

This HCl reacts with the base present in the buffer to make HA as:

A^-+H^+\rightarrow HA

Total mili moles of HA after addition of HCl = 5+1 = 6

mili moles of base after addition of HCl = 2.5-1 = 1.5

Let's plug in the values in the Handerson equation again. Here, we could use the mili moles to calculate the pH. The answer remains same even if we use the concentrations also as the final volume is same both for acid and base.

pH=4.20+log(\frac{1.5}{6})

pH = 4.20 - 0.60

pH = 3.60

So, the pH of the solution after addition of HCl would be 3.60.

(c) mili moles of NaOH or OH^- added to the original buffer = 0.05(15.0) = 0.75

This OH^- reacts with HA to form A^- as:

HA+OH^-\rightarrow H_2O+A^-

mili moles of HA after addition of NaOH = 5-0.75 = 4.25

mili moles of A^- after addition of NaOH = 2.5+0.75 = 3.25

Let's plug in the values again in Handerson equation:

pH=4.20+log(\frac{3.25}{4.25})

pH = 4.20 - 0.12

pH = 4.32

So, the pH of the buffer solution after addition of NaOH is 4.32.

Use your experimentally determined value of ksp and show,by calculations, that ag2cro4 should precipitate when 5ml of 0.004m agn
Doss [256]
When the value of Ksp = 3.83 x 10^-11 (should be given - missing in your Q)

So, according to the balanced equation of the reaction:

and by using ICE table:

              Ag2CrO4(s)  → 2Ag+ (Aq) + CrO4^2-(aq)

initial                                     0                   0

change                              +2X                 +X

Equ                                       2X                   X

∴ Ksp = [Ag+]^2[CrO42-]

so by substitution:

∴ 3.83 x 10^-11 = (2X)^2* X

3.83 x 10^-11 = 4 X^3

∴X = 2.1 x 10^-4 

∴[CrO42-] = X = 2.1 x 10^-4 M

[Ag+] = 2X = 2 * (2.1 x 10^-4) 

                  = 4.2 x 10^-4 M

when we comparing with the actual concentration of [Ag+] and [CrO42-]

when moles Ag+ = molarity * volume

                               = 0.004 m * 0.005L

                               = 2 x 10^-5 moles
[Ag+] = moles / total volume
     
          = 2 x 10^-5 / 0.01L

          = 0.002 M

moles CrO42- = molarity * volume

                         = 0.0024 m * 0.005 L

                         = 1.2 x 10^-5 mol

∴[CrO42-] = moles / total volume

                 = (1.2 x 10^-5)mol / 0.01 L 

                 = 0.0012 M

by comparing this values with the max concentration that is saturation in the solution 

and when the 2 values of ions concentration are >>> than the max values o the concentrations that are will be saturated.

∴ the excess will precipitate out

What organisims allowed for the build up of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is tiny organisms known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, yes, oxygen.

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g

Answer the question briefly: How can atom collapse and why are atoms stable?
kykrilka [37]

The nuclei of atoms become unstable when the repelling forces of the protons cannot be balanced by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It then re-arranges itself randomly to a more stable configuration by emitting any of a series of particles. During radioactive decay, an atom does not collapse.

Since an atom is mostly empty space - that is it’s nucleus is relatively distant from the electron shells so, in the presence of extreme forces such as gravity inthe collapse of a large star, the inward pressures on the atom overcome the natural balance of the atomic structure and the ‘empty space’ disappears as nuclei are mashed together by the intense pressures and a neutron star is formed. Under even more external pressure, even the neutron star can collapse to form a black hole.
