Ch = sh = why and find the stuff
Concave is not a type of mechanical wave because it doesn’t need a medium for propagation.
The condition at which the entropy of a pure solid will be zero is<span> when a substance is at absolute zero. Absolute zero is </span><span>the lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles which constitutes heat would be minimal. It is zero on the Kelvin scale, equivalent to −273.15°C.</span>
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
A chemical change results from a chemical reaction, while a physical change is when matter changes forms but not chemical identity.
Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting.
Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.
