<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 5.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the volume of buffer solution be V

We know that:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate base}]}{[acid]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.90

[\text{conjugate base}]=\frac{2.25}{V}

[acid]=\frac{1.00}{V}

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.90+\log(\frac{2.25/V}{1.00/V})\\\\pH=5.25

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 5.25

Fe2O3 + CO → Fe + CO2 If 2 moles of Fe2O3 react with 9 moles of CO, how many moles of each product are formed?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: B. 4 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

Explanation:

write a balanced chemical reaction

that is FeO3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3CO2

2 moles of Fe2O3 reacted with 3 x2=6 moles of Co to form Fe and CO2 therefore CO was in excess and Fe2O3 was limiting reagent.

use the mole ratio to determine the moles of each product.

that is the mole ratio 0f Fe2O3 : Fe is 1:2 therefore the moles of Fe = 2x2=4 moles

the mole ratio of Fe2CO3 : CO2 is 1: 3 therefore the moles of Co2 = 2 x3 = 6 moles

The thickness of a 6.00 cm square piece of Al that has a mass of .842 g and a density of 2.70 g/cm^3
lutik1710 [3]
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume =  .842 / 2.70
Volume = .31185 cubic centimeters
Aluminum square * depth = .31185 cubic centimeters
6 * 6 * depth = .31185 cubic centimeters
depth = (.31185 cubic centimeters) / 36
<span><span><span>depth = 0.0086625514 centimeters

(That must be aluminum foil.)
