<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

Assuming that the bath contains 250.0 g of water and that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, calculate
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

-3272     kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given and known facts

Mass of Benzene = 0.187 grams

Mass of water = 250 grams

Standard heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g∙°C

Change in temperature ΔT = 7.48°C

Heat

=250 * 4.18 * 7.48\\=7816.6 \\=7.82

Heat released by benzine is - 7.82 kJ

Now, we know that

0.187 grams of benzene release = -7.82  kJ heat

So, 1 g benzine releases

\frac{ -7.82 }{0.187}\\= -41.8

kJ/g

0.187 * \frac{1}{78.108}=0.00239 mol C6H6

Heat released

= \frac{-7.82}{ 0.00239}

=-3272     kJ/mol

Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??
ra1l [238]
Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²
