Answer:

(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base -or vice versa-.

In the buffer:

1.0L × (0.10 mol / L) = 0.10 moles of HF -<em>Weak acid-</em>

1.0L × (0.050 mol / L) = 0.050 moles of NaF -<em>Conjugate base-</em>

-The weak acid reacts with bases as NaOH and the conjugate base reacts with acids as HCl-

Thus:

<em>(a) adding 0.050 mol of HCl:</em> The addition of 0.050moles of HCl produce the reaction of 0.050 moles of NaF producing HF. That means after the reaction, all NaF is consumed and you will have in solution just the weak acid <em>destroying the buffer</em>.

(b) adding 0.050 mol of NaOH: The NaOH reacts with HF producing more NaF. Would be consumed just 0.050 moles of HF -remaining 0.050 moles of HF-. Thus, the buffer <em>wouldn't be destroyed</em>.

(c) adding 0.050 mol of NaF: The addition of conjugate base <em>doesn't destroy the buffer</em>

Answer: 1. 2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu

2. 3 moles of CuCl_2 : 2 moles of Al

3. 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 : 0.92 moles of Al

4. CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent and Al is the excess reagent.

5. Theoretical yield of AlCl_3 is 29.3 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.92moles

\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{45.0g}{134g/mol}=0.33moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu  

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of CuCl_2 require = 2 moles of Al

Thus 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 will require=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles  of Al

Thus CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Al is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of CuCl_2 give = 2 moles of AlCl_3

Thus 0.33 moles of CuCl_2 give =\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles  of AlCl_3

Theoretical yield of AlCl_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.22moles\times 133.34g/mol=29.3

Thus 29.3 g of aluminium chloride is formed.

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.

Explain why an indicator is used in titration
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Titrations. Because a noticeable pH change occurs near the equivalence point of acid-base titrations, an indicator can be used to signal the end of a titration. When selecting an indicator for acid-base titrations, choose an indicator whose pH range falls within the pH change of the reaction.

Hope it helped!!
