Answer:

a. Phosphoric Acid

b. Acetic Acid

c. Hypochlorous Acid

Explanation:

A buffer works when the pH of this one is in pKa ± 1. That means, to find which buffer system works in some pH you need to find pKa:

pKa = -log Ka

<em>pKa Acetic acid:</em>

-log1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74

<em>pKa phosphoric acid:</em>

-log7.5x10⁻³ = 2.12

<em>pKa hypochlorous acid:</em>

-log3.5x10⁻⁸ = 7.46

a. For a pH of 2.8 the best choice is phophoric acid because its effective range is: 1.12 - 3.12 and 2.8 is between these values.

b. pH 4.5. Acetic acid. effective between pH's 3.74 - 5.74

c. pH 7.5. Hypochlorous acid that works between 6.46 and 8.46

Sodium chloride can be produced by the reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas. Which is the limiting reactant if 6.70 moles
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Chlorine gas.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

Thus, given the moles of reacting both sodium and chlorine, we compute the moles of sodium chloride yielded by each reactant by considering the 2:2 and 1:2 mole ratios:

n_{NaCl}^{by\ Na}=6.70molNa*\frac{2molNaCl}{2molNa}=6.70molNaCl \\\\n_{NaCl}^{by\ Cl_2}=3.20molCl_2*\frac{2molNaCl}{1molCl_2}=6.40molNaCl

Thus, since chlorine yields less moles of sodium chloride, we infer it is the limiting reactant.

Best regards!

Graph of the relationship between mass and thermal energy
elixir [45]

<em>Thermal energy</em> is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in an object.

Assume that you have 250 gL of water and 1 kg of water at the same temperature.

Then, each water molecule has the same kinetic energy.

The larger sample contains four times as many molecules, so it contains four times as much thermal energy.

Thus, thermal energy is directly proportional to mass.

In symbols, <em>KE </em>∝ <em>m</em> or <em>KE = km</em>.

The graph of a direct proportion is a <em>straight line passing trough the origin</em>.

It should look something like the graph below.
