Hello!

After the addition of a small amount of acid, a reasonable value of buffer pH would be 5,15.

If initially there are equal amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base, the pH would be equal to the pKa, according to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log( \frac{[A^{-}] }{[HA]} ) \\ \\ if [A^{-}]=[HA] \\ \\ pH=pKa + log (1) \\ \\ pH=pKa + 0=5,25

So, when adding a little amount of acid the pH should be only a little lower than the pKa. The value from the list that is a little lower than the pKa is 5.15

Have a nice day!

What is the mass of 0.513 mol Al2O3? Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures. (Molar mass of Al2O3 = 102.0
prisoha [69]
.513mol x (102g/1mol)

Essentially, this is .513 x 102
Which equals: 52.326
But because you can only have 3 significant figures, your answer is:
52.3 grams

I hope this Helps!

3. The complex ion Co(H2O)6 2(aq) is pink when placed in solution. Addition of chloride ions creates an equilibrium with CoCl42-
mart [117]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When the complex ion Co(H2O)6 2+(aq) is placed in solution and chloride ions are added, the following equilobrium is set up;

  Co(H2O)62+(aq) + 4 Cl-(aq) <=> CoCl42-(aq) + 6 H2O(g)

Co(H2O)6 2+(aq) solution  is pink in colour while CoCl42-(aq) solution is blue in colour.

Since the solubility of CoCl42-(aq) is endothermic, heating the solution will move the equilibrium position towards the right (more CoCl42-(aq) is formed and the solution is blue in colour).

When the solution is cooled, more Co(H2O)62+(aq) is formed and the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and the solution becomes pink in colour.
