Bad White [126]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The concentration and pKa of an acid and its conjugate base can limit the buffering capacity of a molecule.

Explanation:

A buffer is an acid and its conjugate base and the quality of it depends on its buffer capacity. This buffer capacity is the resistance to change the pH of the solution when strong acids or bases are added. The buffer capacity is related to the buffer concentration, the concentration of the acid end its conjugate base. Also, every acid has a pKa and the buffer capacity is at its maximum at the pKa value and can buffer the solution between ± 1 the pKa value.

Which element decreases its oxidation number in this reaction? bicl2 + na2so4 → 2nacl + biso4?
kifflom [539]
The balanced reaction is as follows;
BiCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ --> 2NaCl + BiSO₄
this is a double displacement reaction 
the oxidation number of Bi is +2 in both BiCl₂ and BiSO₄
oxidation number of Cl is -1 in both BiCl₂ and NaCl 
oxidation number of Na is +1 in both Na₂SO₄ and NaCl
oxidation numbers of elements in SO₄²⁻ remains the same in both compounds.Therefore the oxidation state in any of the elements in the reaction doesn't change. Neither of the elements show an increase or decrease in the oxidation numbers .
Answer for this question is no element decreases its oxidation number.
