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>

Assuming that all the energy given off in the reaction goes to heating up only the air in the house, determine the mass of metha
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

0.92 kg

Explanation:

The volume occupied by the air is:

35.0m\times 35.0m \times 3.2m \times \frac{10^{3}L }{1m^{3} } =3.9 \times 10^{6} L

The moles of air are:

3.9 \times 10^{6} L \times \frac{1.00mol}{22.4L} =1.7 \times 10^{5}mol

The heat required to heat the air by 10.0 °C (or 10.0 K) is:

1.7 \times 10^{5}mol \times \frac{30J}{K.mol} \times 10.0 K = 5.1 \times 10^{7}J

Methane's heat of combustion is 55.5 MJ/kg. The mass of methane required to heat the air is:

5.1 \times 10^{7}J \times \frac{1kgCH_{4}}{55.5 \times 10^{6} J } =0.92kgCH_{4}
