(30 Points) You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.02. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (mil

limoles) of acetic acid. How many millimoles of acetate (the conjugate base of acetic acid) will you need to add to this solution? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74. Express your answer numerically in millimoles.

<span>By definition:

pH = pKa + log [acetate]/ [acetic acid]

so

5.02 = 4.74 + log [acetate] / 10 mmole

10mmole = 10/1000 = 0.01 mole

5.02 = 4.74 + log [acetate] / 0.01

5.02 - 4.74 = 0.28 = log [acetate] /0.01


10^0.28 = </span><span>1.90546</span> = [acetate] / 0.01 <span>
[acetate] = 0.019 mole 

= 19 millimoles

<span>pH = pKa + log [acetate]/ [acetic acid] ( Handerso-Hasselbalch equation)

5.35 = 4.74 + log acetate / 0.010 moles

5.35 - 4.74 =0.61 = log acetate / 0.010

10^0.61 =4.1 = acetate / 0.010

moles acetate = 0.041

millimoles acetate required = 41</span>

Put the following in the correct chronological order from what happened first to what happened last.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

2-3-1-4

Explanation:

The astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did not have a theory about the Earth revolving around the sun until he got into astronomy and began to study the patterns of the sun and the moon as well as reading other entries from previous astronomers. You can pretty much guess from there, he had to have the theory before proving it etc.

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?
Bond [772]
Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value.  The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) ^{t/t(1/2)}  where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time.  So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days

Which of the following is not an example of a science?
Cloud [144]
Geology is the science of Earth.

Ecology is the science of relationship between an organism and its environment.

Astronomy is the science of studying astronomical objects.

Whereas, Phrenology is the study of relating the size of human skull like its size, shapes e.t.c to his/her personality. So, its not a science as there is no scientific relationship between it.

Consider the reaction.
N76 [4]

Answer: m = 50 g ZnSO4

Explanation: First is convert the moles of Zn to the moles of ZnSO4 by having their mole ratio which is 2:2 based from the balanced equation. Next is convert the moles of ZnSO4 to mass using its molar mass.

0.311 mole Zn x 2 moles ZnSO4 / 2 moles Zn

= 0.311 moles ZnSO4

0.311 moles ZnSO4 x 161 g ZnSO4 / 1 mole ZnSO4

= 50 ZnSO4
