Answer:

Increase; remain constant, remain constant; No; by adjusting the acid:base ratio of the buffer.

Explanation:

On a 10-fold dilution of a weak acid, the pH will INCREASE and that is because strong acids are not found in buffers, therefore, diluting a strong acid reduces the amount of hydrogen ions,H^+ present, consequently increasing the pH.

On a 10-fold dilution of a buffered solution, the pH will REMAIN CONSTANT because diluting a buffer does not affect the pH of the buffer.

If one adds a small amount of strong base to a buffered solution, the pH will REMAIN CONSTANT because the buffer will equalize the strong base, however, the pH may increase just a little.

One can not make a buffer solution using a strong acid because  Buffers are composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, and weak acids or bases only dissociate partially. Strong acids dissociate completely, they overpower the reaction and move the reaction to completion.

pH of a buffer solution can be adjusted using by adjusting the acid:base ratio of the buffer.

Need help with this question.... Next to each Formula, write the number of atoms of each element found in one unit of the compou
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The number of atoms present in one unit of the following compounds is:

a). Potassium Iodide , KI = 2

b).Sodium Sulfide, Na_{2}S = 3

c). Silicon Dioxide , SiO_{2} = 3

d). Carbonic Acid ,H_{2}CO_{3} = 6

Explanation:

Atomicity : It is defined as the number of atoms that are present in a given molecule/compound.

Atom : The smallest unit of matter is called atom. For e.g O is atom of oxygen but O_{2} is not an atom , it is molecule of oxygen .

O_{2} molecule has 2 atoms of Oxygen

Similarly  Na , K , Fe are atoms but O_{2} ,CO_{2} ,N_{2},H_{2}  are molecules

a).Potassium Iodide

KI = 1 atom of K + 1 atom of I

Total atoms = 2

b) Sodium Sulfide

Na_{2}S = 2 atoms of Na + 1 atom of S

Total atoms = 3

c) Silicon Dioxide

SiO_{2} = 1 atom of Si + 2 atoms of O

Total atoms = 3

d) Carbonic Acid

H_{2}CO_{3} = 2 atom of H + 1 atom of C + 3 atom of O

= 2+1+3

Total atoms = 6

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2
valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%
