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 much heat in j is giving out when 85.0g of lead cools from 200.0 c to 10.0c
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

q = - 2067.2 J of Heat is giving out when 85.0g of lead cools from 200.0 c to 10.0 c.

Explanation:

The Specific Heat capacity of Lead is 0.128 \frac{J}{g\ ^{0}C}

This means, increase in temperature of 1 gm of lead by 1 ^{0}\ C will require 0.128 J of heat.

Formula Used :

q = m.c.\Delta T

q = amount of heat added / removed

m = mass of substance in grams = 85.0 g

c = specific heat of the substance = 0.128

q = m.c.\Delta T = Change in temperature

                                          = final temperature - Initial temperature

                                          = 10 - 200

                                          = -190 ^{0}\ C

put value in formula

q = -  85\times 0.128\times 190

On calculation,

q = - 2067.2 J

- sign indicates that the heat is released in the process

Cuántos gramos de hidróxido de sodio (NaOH) se debe de agregar a un litro de agua para obtener una disolución al 25% en masa
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

= 250 gramos

Explanation:

No ha preguntado sobre peso / peso o peso / volumen.

Para w / v:

Simplemente tome el 25% de 1000 y luego agréguelo en 1L de agua

La masa de NaOH necesaria es de 250 g.

Para w / w:

250 gramos de NaOH y 750 g de agua, hará que la solución sea 1L.

How many bonds would be needed when bonding 2 atoms of nitrogen to achieve a full octet for both atoms?
andriy [413]

Answer:

3 bonds are needed.

Explanation:

The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those in the outer shell of the highest energy level of the atom. The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is 1s²2s²2p³. That means thy at each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in the 2s orbital and 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. To fullfil the octet, each nitrogen atom needs 3 electrons. So, they can share each other 3 electrons to form 3 simple bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (N₂) has 3 bonds involving 6 bonding electrons or a triple bond.
