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.

A 90 lb person is prescribed a drug in the amount of 50mg/kg body per day to be delivered in 2 doses per day. Each tablet contai
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

4 tabletes/dose

Explanation:

mass person = (90 Lb)×(Kg/2.20462 Lb) = 40.823 Kg body

amount of medicine = 50 mg/Kg body.day

frecuency = 2 dose/day

⇒ amount of medicine/day =  (50 mg/kg body.day)×(40.823 Kg body) = 2041.168 mg/day

⇒ mg medicine/dose = (20141.168 mg/day)×(day/ 2 dose) = 1020.584 mg medicine/dose

∴ mg medicine/tablet = 250 mg medicine/tablet

⇒ # tabletes/dose = (1020.584 mg medicine/dose)×(tablet/250 mg medicine) = 4.082 tabletes/dose

⇒ # tabletes/dose ≅ 4 tabletes/dose

What is the final concentration when 5 ml of a 2.5M copper sulphate solution is diluted to 750 ml?
Firdavs [7]

Answer: The final concentration when 5 ml of a 2.5M copper sulphate solution is diluted to 750 ml is 0.017 M

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,  

M_1 = molarity of stock CuSO_4 solution = 2.5 M

V_1 = volume of stock CuSO_4solution = 5 ml  

M_1 = molarity of diluted CuSO_4 solution = ?

V_1 = volume of diluted CuSO_4 solution = 750 ml

Putting in the values we get:

2.5\times 5=M_2\times 750

M_2=0.017

Therefore the final concentration when 5 ml of a 2.5M copper sulphate solution is diluted to 750 ml is 0.017 M
