We need to know the value of van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is: 2.66 or 2.7 (approximately)
(NH₄)₂SO₄ is an ionic compound, so it dissociates in solution and produces 3 ionic species. Therefore van't hoff factor is more than one.
From the equation: Δ
=i
.m, where Δ
= elevation of boiling point=102.5 - 100=2.5°C.
m=molality of solute=1.83 m (Given)
= Ebullioscopic constant or Boiling point elevation constant= 0.512°C/m (Given)
i= Van't Hoff factor
So, 2.5= i X 0.512 X 1.83
i=
i=2.66= 2.7 (approx.)
Answer: M = 0.036 M
Explanation: Solution attached:
First convert mass of NH3 to moles
Next convert volume in mL to L
Use the formula for Molarity
M = n / L
Answer:
- <em>(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.</em>
- <em>(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. </em>
- <em>(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.</em>
Explanation:
A buffer is solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.
The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.
