Answer:

pH=3.97

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the calculation of the pH of the given buffer we need to use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )

Whereas the pKa for benzoic acid is 4.19, the concentration of the base is 0.15 M (sodium benzoate) and the concentration of the acid is 0.25 M (benzoic acid), therefore, the pH turns out:

pH=4.19+log(\frac{0.15M}{0.25M} )\\\\pH=3.97

Regards.

Compare and contrast the goals of the General Mining Law of 1872 and the proposed Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2009.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: seen below

Explanation:

the goals of the General Mining Law of 1872 state that, anyone can stake mining claims on federal land, and they pay no more than $5 an acre while they keep 100% of profits with little to no environmental provisions.

Taxpayers pay for clean up of sites.

While the goals of proposed Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2009 includes, Increasing acreage of lands off limits to exploration and development. Protecting of National Parks and National Monuments is essential. Giving land managers the ability to balance mineral activities with other uses of public land. Giving state, local and tribal government the ability to put lands off limits to mining although, this bill never became law.

Calculate the mass of 25,000 molecules of nitrogen gas. (1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules)
Ainat [17]

Hey there!

Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol

Therefore:

28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2

( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2

mass N2 =  ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) /  ( 6.02*10²³ )

mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³

mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g


Hope that helps!

There is water on the pan of the scale as you measure the mass of an object. If you were to ignore the water, what would be the
mihalych1998 [28]
Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.

So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.

In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is

As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:

density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml

The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater

Hope this helps!

Good luck
