Answer:
b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution
d.The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.
Explanation:
A buffer is a solution that resist pH change, it shows minimal change upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base. An alkaline buffer will have a basic pH, above 7. It is made by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. An example of an alkaline buffer is carbonate-bicarbonate buffer that is prepared using varying amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate and volume of solution of sodium bicarbonate to get pH range between 9.2 to 10.7
Within the buffer,the salt is completely ionized while the weak base is partly ionized. on addition of acid, the released protons will be removed by the bicarbonate ion to form sodium carbonate; on addition of base, the hydroxide ion released by the base will be removed by the hydrogen ions to form water and the pH remains relatively the same
The balanced equation is Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
Step 1. Write the <em>unbalanced equation
</em>
Mg + AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag
Step 2. Start with the<em> most complicated-looking formula</em> [Mg(NO₃)₂] and balance its atoms.
Mg: Already balanced —1 atom each side.
N: We need 2 N on the left. Put a 2 in front of AgNO₃.
1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag
O: Already balanced —6 atom6 each side.
Step 3: Balance <em>Ag</em>
We have 2Ag on the left. We need 2Ag on the right.
1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
Answer: There are five signs of chemical change
- Color Change
- Production of an odor
- Change of Temperature
- Evolution of Gas (bubbles start to form)
- Precipitate (starts to form a solid)
When these signs start to form you know chemical change is at work.
Hope this helps :)
