Answer:
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.
c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.
d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.
f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.
Answer:
<h2>- It could be stretched into a thin wire.</h2>
Explanation:
As per the question, the most rational claim that the student can make about the aluminum metal is that 'it could be stretched into a thin wire' without breaking which shows its ductility. It is one of the most significant characteristics of a metal. Metals can conduct electricity in any state and not only when melted. Thus, option A is wrong. Options C and D are incorrect as metals neither have the same shape always nor do they break on hitting with a hammer. Therefore, <u>option E</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
Fiber is "Not Digestible"
Explanation:
Carbohydrates that contain fiber cannot be completely digested. the indigestible components of fiber are measured in the calorimeter, but they are not accessible for energy in the human body.
