Answer:
A chemical change
Explanation:
The marshmallow turning brown and bubbling implies that a chemical change has taken place.
For chemical changes to occur, we observe any of the following:
- a new kind of matter is formed.
- it is always accompanied by energy changes
- the process is not easily reversible
- it involves a change in mass
- requires considerable amount of energy.
ii. Two signs that shows a chemical change has taken place is that:
- bubbles are being formed as it is roasted and it implies that new substances have been formed.
- also, significant amount of heat energy is supplied for the roasting.
From ideal gas equation that is PV=nRT
n(number of moles)=PV/RT
P=760 torr
V=4.50L
R(gas constant =62.363667torr/l/mol
T=273 +273=298k
n is therefore (760torr x4.50L) /62.36367 torr/L/mol x298k =0.184moles
the molar mass of NO2 is 46 therefore density= 0.184 x 46=8.464g/l
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
Answer:
(c) The retention time would be higher (d) The retention time would be lower.
Explanation:
For the polar solutes which were separated using the hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase, the retention time would be higher if eluent were changed from 80 vol% to 90 vol% acetonitrile in water.
However, for the polar solutes which were separated using the normal-phase chromatography on bare silica with methyl t=butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent, the retention time would be lower if the eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol.
