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.

24.3 2 An artifact classified as seeds, found in a site at Newlands Cross, Ireland, is found to have a 14C radioactivity of 0.10
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Age ≅ 7500 years

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order kinetics and described by the expression

A = A₀e^-kt => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

k = 0.693 / t(half life) = (0.693 / 5730)yrs⁻¹ = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

t = Age = [ln(0.103/0.255) / - 1.21 x 10⁻⁴] yrs = 7500 years

Concentrated sulfuric acid (18.3 M) has a density of 1.84 g/mL.
lianna [129]

The number of mole sulphuric acid in each mL of solution is 0.0183 mol/mL.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>
  • Concentration in chemistry is calculated by dividing a constituent's abundance by the mixture's total volume.
  • Mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration are four different categories of mathematical description.  
  • Any type of chemical mixture can be referred to by the term "concentration," however solutes and solvents in solutions are most usually mentioned.
  • There are different types of molar (quantity) concentration, including normal concentration and osmotic concentration.
<h3>How is concentration determined?</h3>
  • Subtract the solute's mass from the total volume of the solution. Using m as the solute's mass and V as the total volume of the solution, write out the equation C = m/V.
  • To get the concentration of your solution, divide the mass and volume figures you discovered and plug them in.

Calculate the number of moles of a gas that is present in a 7.55 L container at 45°C, if the gas exerts a pressure of 725mm Hg.
vovikov84 [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of gas present is 0.276 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gas = 725 mm Hg

V = Volume of the gas = 7.55 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of the gas = 45^oC=(45+273)K=318K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

725mmHg\times 7.55L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 318K\\\\n=0.276mol

Hence, the number of moles of gas present is 0.276 moles
