3 0

Answer:

c.) HNO₃ & NaNO₃

Explanation:

A buffer system has 2 components:

  • A weak acid and its conjugate base or
  • A weak base and its conjugate acid

<em>Which one of the following combinations cannot function as a buffer solution? </em>

<em> a.) HCN & KCN.</em> YES. HCN is a weak acid and CN⁻ (coming from KCN)  its conjugate base.

<em> b.) NH₃ & (NH₄)₂SO₄.</em> YES. NH₃ is a weak base and NH₄⁺ (coming from (NH₄)₂SO₄) its conjugate acid.

<em> c.) HNO₃ & NaNO₃.</em> NO. HNO₃ is a strong acid.

<em>d.) HF & NaF.</em> YES. HF is a weak acid and F⁻ (coming from NaF)  its conjugate base.

<em> e.) HNO₂ & NaNO₂.</em> YES. HNO₂ is a weak acid and NO₂⁻ (coming from NaNO₂)  its conjugate base.

A solution is made by dissolving 10.20 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) in 355 grams of water. What is the freezing point depression o
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

0.297 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the <em>freezing point depression </em>ΔT_f is

ΔT_f = iK_f·b

i is the van’t Hoff factor: the number of moles of particles you get from a solute.

For glucose,

       glucose(s) ⟶ glucose(aq)

1 mole glucose ⟶ 1 mol particles     i = 1

Data:

Mass of glucose = 10.20 g

  Mass of water = 355 g

                 ΔT_f = 1.86 °C·kg·mol⁻¹

Calculations:

(a) <em>Moles of glucose </em>

n = 10.20 g × (1 mol/180.16 g)

  = 0.056 62 mol

(b) <em>Kilograms of water </em>

m = 355 g × (1 kg/1000 g)

   = 0.355 kg

(c) <em>Molal concentration </em>

b = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent

  = 0.056 62 mol/0.355 kg

  = 0.1595 mol·kg⁻¹

(d) <em>Freezing point depression </em>

ΔT_f = 1 × 1.86 × 0.1595

        = 0.297 °C

Standard reduction potentials for nickel(II) and copper(II) The standard reduction potential for a substance indicates how readi
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The standard potential, E cell, for this galvanic cell is 0.5670V

Explanation:

Ni²⁺(aq)  +  2e⁻   →   Ni(s)           E red =  - 0.23V      ANODE

Cu²⁺(aq) +  2e-    →  Cu(s)          E red = + 0.337V    CATHODE

ΔE° = E cathode - E anode

ΔE° = 0.337V - (0.23V) = 0.5670 V
