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.

What is the main process that happens in the mantle?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle.
