Answer: Buffer solution

Explanation:

Buffer is a solution which resists changes in pH when small quantities of acid or alkali are added to it.

It is formed by combination of weak acid and salt of weak acid with strong base called as acidic buffer.Example: $CH_3COOH$ and $CH_3COONa$

Or it is formed by combination of weak base and salt of weak base with strong acid called as basic buffer buffer. Example: $NH_4OH$ and $NH_4Cl$

When acid is added to buffer, the buffer releases $OH^-$ ions to neutralize the acid added and when base is added to buffer, the buffer releases $H^+$ ions to neutralize the base added.

If a sample of HF gas at 694.9 mmHg has a volume of 3.463 Land the volume is changed to 5.887 L, then what will be the new press

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{381.7 mmHg}}$

Explanation:

Data:

p₁ = 694.9 mmHg; V₁ = 3.463 L

p₂ = ?; V₂ = 5.887 L

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}p_{1}V_{1} & = & p_{2}V_{2}\\\text{648.9 mmHg} \times \text{3.463 L} & = & p_{2} \times\text{5.887 L}\\\text{2247.1 mmHg} & = & 5.887p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{2247.1 mmHg}}{5.887}\\\\& = &\textbf{381.7 mmHg}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is $\large \boxed{\textbf{381.7 mmHg}}$}$

Solid sodium azide (NaN3) produces solid sodium and nitrogen gas. How many grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P*V = n*R*T

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

You know the following about N₂:

P= 1.10 atm
V= 26.5 L
n=?

$R=0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$

T= 295 K

Replacing in the equation for ideal gas:

1.10 atm* 26.5 L= n* $0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *295 K

Solving:

$n=\frac{1.10 atm*26.5 L}{0.082057 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *295K}$

n= 1.2 moles

Now, the following rule of three can be applied: if 3 moles of N₂ are produced by stoichiometry of the reaction from 2 moles of NaN₃, 1.2 moles of N₂ are produced from how many moles of NaN₃?

$moles of NaN_{3}=\frac{1.2 molesofN_{2} *2 molesofNaN_{3} }{3 molesofN_{2} }$

moles of NaN₃= 0.8

Since the molar mass of sodium azide is 65.01 g / mol, then one last rule of three applies: if 1 mol has 65.01 grams of NaN₃, 0.8 mol how much mass does it have?

$mass of NaN_{3} =\frac{0.8 mol*65.01 grams}{1 mol}$

mass of NaN₃=52.008 grams

52.008 grams of sodium azide are needed to yield a volume of 26.5 L of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 295 K and a pressure of 1.10 atmospheres.

What is the significance of enzymes in maintaining homeostasis in living organisms ?

GalinKa [24]

Enzymes are needed for metabolic pathways in the body, respiration, digestion and other important life processes. When enzymes function properly, homeostasis is maintained. However, if an enzyme is lacking or has an incorrect shape due to genetic mutation, this can lead to disease within an organism.
