There is no single person who is credited with the discovery of Mercury. Mercury is one of the five planets that can be seen in the night sky without using a telescope or binoculars. The planet Mercury has been known since ancient times and was observed for thousands of years by the people of many different cultures.

Select the statements that correctly describe a buffer. a) An acid added to the buffer solution reacts with the weak base of the
Tom [10]

Answer:

  • <em>(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.</em>
  • <em>(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. </em>
  • <em>(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.</em>

Explanation:

A buffer is  solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.

The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration  of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B
eimsori [14]
2 boxes of A
Because C = A + B
2 of A = 20 grams
at the other hand we have 2 of B = 10
So 20 + 10 = 30 grams

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the system? DH=+890kJCO2(g)+
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Option B. The reaction will shift to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

CO₂ + 2H₂O <=> CH₄ + O₂

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = +890 KJ

The reaction illustrated by the equation is endothermic reaction since the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive.

Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the right and decrease the temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature of the system illustrated by the equation above, will shift the reaction to the left in the direction of the reactants.

Thus, option B gives the right answer to the question.

The emission spectrum of an element:
alexandr402 [8]

B

The emission spectrum of an element is identical to its absorption spectrum.

Explanation:

This is because a quantum leap  of an electron of an atom from one lower energy level to a higher one results in the absorption of a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. When the electron leaps back to the lower energy level, it releases the same wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. This is according to Bohr's theory. Every atom has a signature absorption and emission spectra that are used to identify it.
