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.

How many grams of copper (II) nitrate would be produced from 0.80 g of copper metal reacting with excess nitric acid?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the chemical reaction between copper and nitric acid is:

2HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+H_2

By starting with 0.80 g of copper metal (molar mass = 63.54 g/mol) and considering the 1:1 mole ratio between copper and copper (II) nitrate (molar mass = 187.56 g/mol) we can compute that mass via stoichiometry as shown below:

m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=0.80gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.54gCu} *\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu} *\frac{187.56gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2

However, the real reaction between copper and nitric acid releases nitrogen oxide, yet it does not modify the calculations since the 1:1 mole ratio is still there:

4HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2H_2O+2NO_2

Best regards!

What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula SO and molecular weight 96.13?
anyanavicka [17]

S2O2 because the molecular formula of SO is just SO because they are both diatomic elements, but the empirical formula is just the but mot simplified, or S2O2.

What’s a chemical property
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. ... They can also be useful to identify an unknown substance or to separate or purify it from other substances.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

KClO_3

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, as we know the mass of the total sample, we can first compute the mass of oxygen:

m_O=22.9g-7.33g-6.65g=8.92g

Next, we compute the moles of each element:

n_K=\frac{7.33g}{39.9g/mol}= 0.184mol\\\\n_{Cl}=\frac{6.65g}{35.45g/mol}=0.188mol \\\\n_O=\frac{8.92g}{16.00g/mol} =0.5575mol

Now, we divide the moles by 0.184 moles, the fewest ones, to obtain:

K=\frac{0.184}{0.184}=1.0 \\\\Cl=\frac{0.187}{0.184}=1.0\\\\O=\frac{0.5575}{0.184}  =3.0

Therefore, the empirical formula is:

KClO_3

Regards!
