Which of the following is TRUE? A) An effective buffer has a [base]/[acid] ratio in the range of 10 - 100. B) A buffer is most r

esistant to pH change when [acid] = [conjugate base] C) An effective buffer has very small absolute concentrations of acid and conjugate base. D) A buffer cannot be destroyed by adding too much strong base. It can only be destroyed by adding too much strong acid. E) None of the above is true.

Answer:

B is true.

Explanation:

A buffer is the mixture of a weak acid with its conjugate base or vice versa.

An effective buffer has a pH  of pKa ± 1. Using H-H formula:

pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]

1 = log [base] / [acid]

10 = [base] / [acid]

Or

-1 = log [base] / [acid]

0.1 = [base] / [acid]

<em>In other words, the </em>1 [base] / [acid] ratio in an effective buffer is between 0.1-100. <em>A IS FALSE</em>

The buffer is most resistant to pH change when pH = pKa. Using H-H formula:

pH = pKa + log [base] / [acid]

0 = log [base] / [acid]

1 = [base] / [acid]

<em>In other words, when [base] = [acid] </em><em>B IS TRUE</em>

<em />

In a buffer, an effective buffer must have a higher concentration of pair acid conjugate base. Thus <em>C IS FALSE</em>

The addition of strong base produce conjugate base decreasing concentration of acid. Too much strong base produce a big  [base] / [acid] ratio destroying buffer. <em>D IS FALSE</em>

The intermolecular forces present in CH 3NH 2 include which of the following? I. dipole-dipole II. ion-dipole III. dispersion IV
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

I. dipole-dipole

III. dispersion

IV. hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are weak attraction force joining nonpolar and polar molecules together.

London Dispersion Forces are weak attraction force joining non-polar and polar molecules together. e.g O₂, H₂,N₂,Cl₂ and noble gases. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non -polar molecule sometimes becomes polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.

Dispersion forces are the weakest of all electrical forces that act between atoms and molecules. The force is responsible for liquefaction or solidification of non-polar substances such as noble gas an halogen at low temperatures.

Dipole-Dipole Attractions are forces of attraction existing between polar molecules ( unsymmetrical molecules) i.e molecules that have permanent dipoles such as HCl, CH3NH2 . Such molecules line up such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.

Dipole - Dipole attractions are more stronger than the London dispersion forces but weaker than the attraction between full charges carried by ions in ionic crystal lattice.

Hydrogen Bonding is a dipole-dipole intermolecular attraction which occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The highly electronegative elements have very strong affinity for electrons. Hence, they attracts the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bonds towards themselves, leaving a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom ( nitrogen in the case of CH3NH2 ) . This attractive force is know as hydrogen bonding.

Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2
lutik1710 [3]
Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)
