Answer:

pH = 4.8

Explanation:

A buffer is formed by a weak acid (0.145 M HC₂H₃O₂) and its conjugate base (0.202 M C₂H₃O₂⁻ coming from 0.202 M KC₂H₃O₂). The pH of a buffer system can be calculated using Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

pH = pKa + log\frac{[base]}{[acid]} \\pH = -log(1.8 \times 10^{-5} )+log(\frac{0.202M}{0.145M} )\\pH=4.8

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.
harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.

How can heat change matter from a solid to a liquid to a gas?<br> Help ima mark Brainlyest!!
babymother [125]
The heat energy breaks down the bonds between the molecules of the solid so the molecules become looser. Further hearing of the liquid causes the bonds to be broken down and the molecules will move further apart.

For all of the following questions 20.00 mL of 0.200 M HBr is titrated with 0.200 M KOH.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer :

The concentration of H^+ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

The pH based on this H^+ ion concentration is 0.698

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of H^+ before any titrant is added to our starting material.

As we are given:

Concentration of HBr = 0.200 M

As we know that the HBr is a strong acid that dissociates complete to give hydrogen ion H^+ and bromide ion Br^-.

As, 1 M of HBr dissociates to give 1 M of H^+

So, 0.200 M of HBr dissociates to give 0.200 M of H^+

Thus, the concentration of H^+ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

Now we have to calculate the pH based on this H^+ ion concentration.

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.200)

pH=0.698

Thus, the pH based on this H^+ ion concentration is 0.698

What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2 (gram-formula= 164 g/mol)?
Neko [114]
To find this, we will use this formula:

Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound

So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.

Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol

When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!

95.994
-----------
164.086

When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.

So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.

Which sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy?
Anastasy [175]
The question asks average kinetic energy. So it is only related with the temperature. The higher temperature is, the higher kinetic energy is. So the answer is (4).
