Answer:
pH = 3.3
Explanation:
Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.
In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].
Solution using the I.C.E. table:
HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + KNO₂⁻
C(i) 0.55M 0M 0.75M
ΔC -x +x +x
C(eq) 0.55M - x x 0.75M + x b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be
dropped giving ...
≅0.55M x ≅0.75M
Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]
=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3
Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]
= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]
= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3
Answer:
SiO2(s) + 3C(s) ------> SiC(s) + 2CO(g)
Explanation:
The formula for silicon oxide is SiO2 and carbon is C. silicon carbide is SiC
and carbon monoxide is CO.
An arrow is always used to separate the reactants (left) and products (right).
A balanced equation must contain equal number of atoms in each side of the equation.
For example in the equation above, there are 1 atom of silicon appears on each side; 2 atoms of oxygen and three atoms of carbon.
8.9 g + 90 g = 98.9 Copper has a density
The ecosystem services provided by the each of the given examples are as follows:
- A cornfield in Kansas provides provisioning services.
- Bacteria that decompose waste along the Gulf Coast provides regulating services.
- Ocean currents that keep Pacific Northwest air cool and moist provides regulating services.
- Flower garden at a national landmark provides cultural services.
- Lumber from an oak tree provides provisioning services.
- Animals that eat seeds and then spread the seeds through their waste regulating services.
<h3>Ecosystem services</h3>
Ecosystem services are defined as the benefits derived by man from the surroundings ecosystems.
<h3>Categories of ecosystem services</h3>
The four categories of ecosystem services are:
- regulating services,
- provisioning services,
- cultural services, and
- supporting services
A cornfield in Kansas provides provisioning services.
