Plz help, have a quiz on this plz PLZ

calculate how much acid (acetic acid) and how much conjugate base (sodium acetate) must be used to make 500ml of a 0.8m acetate

kirza4 [7]

For the desired pH of 5.76, 0.365 mol of acetate and 0.035 mol of acid are to be added

let the concentration of acetate be x

then the concentration of acid will be (0.8 - x)

pKa of acetate buffer = 4.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒4.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 0

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 1

⇒x = 0.4

Therefore

[acetate] = x = 0.4

[acid] = 0.8-x =0.4 M

number of mol = concentration *(volume in mL)

number of mol of acetate = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

number of mol acid = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

when desired pH = 5.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒5.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 1

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 10

⇒x = 8 - 10x

⇒x = 8/11

⇒x= 0.73

[acetate] = x= 0.73

[acid] = 0.8-x = 0.07 M

number of mol = concentration * (volume in mL)

number of mol acetate to be added = 0.73*0.5 = 0.365 mol

number of mol acid to be added = 0.07*0.5 = 0.035 mol

Problem based on acetic acid required to maintain a certain pH

Lindsey is trying to gain credibility for her studies. She completed her experiment and discussed her finding with colleagues. H

noname [10]

Answer:

Option B:Publishing scientific journals

Explanation:

We are told that Lindsey is trying to gain credibility for her studies.

Since she completed her experiment and discussed her finding with colleagues, the most logical next step would be to publish scientific journals. This is because the other options given are not steps that should be taken because she has completed the research and therefore has no need to speak at a conference next nor even create new charts which they must have done during the research. No need for her to make sure the topic is popular.

Option B is correct

When preparing for work in the fume hood, be sure to gather all necessary tools, glassware, and chemicals _________ to minimize

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

In advance

middle

lower

Explanation:

These are the safety precautions needed when carrying out duties in the fume hood.

When planning and preparing to work in a fume hood (a locally designed area to reduce exposure to hazardous fumes). It is advisable to make all equipment readily available at your disposal in advance to reduce and minimize the raising and lowering of the hood sash at intervals.

It is also pertinent to understand that working in the middle of the work surface helps to promote the movement of air and keeps the area neat and tidy.

However, if any case where there is a need to get a new tool or equipment during the process of working in a fume hood, it is advisable to lower the sash at that point in time.
