Calculation of Molar Ratios of Conjugate Base to Weak Acid from pH For a weak acid with a pKa of 6.0, calculate the ratio of con

jugate base to acid at a pH of 5.0.
Choice of Weak Acid for a Buffer Which of these com-pounds would be the best buffer at pH 5.0: formic acid (pKa 5 3.8), acetic acid (pKa 5 4.76), or ethylamine (pKa 5 9.0)? Briefly justify your answer.

Explanation:

According to the Handerson equation,  

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{salt}}{\text{acid}}

or,      pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

     pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}

       5.0 = 6.0 + log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}}[/tex]

      log \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = -1.0

or,      \frac{\text{conjugate base}}{\text{acid}} = 10^{-1.0}

                            = 0.1

Therefore, we can conclude that molar ratios of conjugate base to weak acid for given solution is 0.1.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option F. 3moles

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

from the equation,

2moles of H2 required 1mole of O2.

Therefore, 6moles of H2 will require = 6/2 = 3moles of O2

Which coefficients will balance the following reaction:
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

C ) 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

The given reaction is synthesis reaction in which lithium and bromine react to form lithium bromide.

Chemical equation:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

Balanced chemical equation:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

Step 1:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 1

Br = 2                                        Br = 1

Step 2:

Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Step 3:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 2                                       Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Which of these household items is powered by alternating current?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

C. Hair dryer

Explanation:

Alternating Current

The other kind of electricity is called alternating current, or AC. Power plants produce this

type of electricity. It is carried by large power lines from the plant to your home. When you

plug a TV, a lamp, or a hair dryer into the wall socket, you are using this type of electricity.

In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?
Aneli [31]
Salutations!

<span>In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?

The technique that John is using is the filtration technique. Filtration is a technique to separate the solid which is insoluble from the liquid. For instance: Sand and water, sand is insoluble, thus it stays in the filter paper, while the water proceeds through the filter paper.

Hope I helped :D</span>
