Answer : The H_3O^+ ion concentration is, 1.12\times 10^{-3}M and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HNO_2 (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of KNO_2 (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})

pK_a=4-\log (7.1)

pK_a=3.15

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})

pH=2.95

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the H_3O^+ ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M

The H_3O^+ ion concentration is, 1.12\times 10^{-3}M

What volume of 0.160 m li2s solution is required to completely react with 130 ml of 0.160 m co no3 2?
Over [174]
The  volume  of  0.160    m   Li2S  solution  required  to  completely  react  with  130 ml  of 0.160  CO(NO3)2  is calculated   as  below

write the  reacting  equation

Co(NO3)2 +  Li2S = 2LiNO3  +  COS

find the    moles  of CO(NO3)2  = molarity  x  volume

=  130 ml  x  0.160=20.8  moles

since the reacting moles between CO(NO3)2  to LiS  is   1:1  the  moles of LiS  is  also  20.8  moles

volume  of Lis  is  therefore =  moles of Lis/ molarity  of LiS

=  20.8/0.160 =  130 Ml

How and why do ionic bonds form?
babymother [125]
Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.

A particular state of matter has atoms that are packed closely together and vibrating in fixed positions. A phase change occurs
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

it goes to a solid to a liquid

Explanation:

When something is a solid the molecules are impact together and have a small sense of vibration. But as the solid melts away for example ice, the molecules become more loose forming into a liquid
