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

What is the mass, in grams, of 0.125 L of CO2 at STP? Question 4 options: 2.80 g 181 g 0.246 g 4.11 g
Zolol [24]
1) Use the fact that 1 mol of gas at STP occupies 22.4 liter

=> 1 mol / 22.4 l = x / 0.125 l => x = 0.125 l * 1 mol / 22.4 l = 0.00558 mol

2) Now use the molar mass of the gas

molar mass of CO2 ≈ 44 g / mol

Formula: molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles =>

mass in grams = molar mass * number of moles = 44 g/mol * 0.00558 moles

mass = 0.246 g

Answer: 0.246 g

How can so many different substances in the world be made of so few elements?
Mrrafil [7]
Matematically speaking, maybe because:
The number of substances = number of elements + number of different combinations of those elements
