2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters
Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm
final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm
final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?
From the data given above, the law used is :
Boyles Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31
= 2.24 Liters
If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
The answer is: H₃PO₄.
A phosphoric acid is three protic acid, which means that in water release tree protons.
Phosphoric acid ionizes in three steps in water.
First step: H₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Second step: H₂PO₄⁻(aq)⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Third step: HPO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ PO₄³⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Species that are present: H₃PO₄, H₂PO₄⁻, HPO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻ and H⁺.
A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.
Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.
The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
