Explain how a Buffer acts to resist pH change in a system upon addition of an acid or a base

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • A buffer consists of either of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base or a weak base along with it's conjugate acid.
  • Let's consider a buffer consists of a weak acid along with it's conjugate base
  • If we add an acid to this buffer then conjugate base gets protonated and converted to corresponding weak acid. So effect of addition of acid gets neutralized by forming weak acid rather than increase in concentration of proton in solution.
  • If we add a base to this buffer then weak acid gets converted to corresponding conjugate base. So effect of addition of base gets neutralized by forming conjugate base rather than in crease in concentration of hydroxyl ion in solution.

Gold (111) Chloride
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gold (111) Chloride:

AuCl₃

The oxidation state of gold is +3.

Chlorine is present in group seventeen and have seven valance electrons . Thus it accept one electron to complete the octet and show oxidation state -1.

When it react with gold(III) three chlorine atoms are combine with one gold atom to make compound overall neutral.

Calcium Carbonate:

CaCO₃

Carbonate formula is CO₃²⁻ . It means it carry -2 charge . Calcium is present in group two. It has two valance electrons and lose them to get complete octet thus shows +2 oxidation state.

When it combine with carbonate the overall compound is neutral because -2 and +2 charges cancel each other.

Hydrobromic Acid

HBr

Hydrogen has one electron while bromine has seven valance electrons. Bromine require one more electron to complete the octet. It react with hydrogen by sharing of one electron of hydrogen and form polar covalent compound.
