Answer:
HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂
Explanation:
Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the basic buffer solution as:
![ pH=pK_b+log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]} ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%0ApH%3DpK_b%2Blog%5Cfrac%7B%5Bsalt%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D%0A)
For a best pair, the pKa value must be equal to pH.
NH₃/NH₄Cl forms a basic buffer and cannot account for pH = 5
out of the acidic buffer given,
So, HF , Ka = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ , So pKa = 3.46
HC₂H₃O₂ , Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ , So pKa = 4.77
<u>The best pair to show pH = 5 is HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂</u>
Answer:
Reaction A:
- Hydrogen atoms in H₂ are oxidized.
- Oxygen atoms in O₂ are reduced.
- Hydrogen gas H₂ is the reducing agent.
- Oxygen gas O₂ is the oxidizing agent.
Reaction B:
- Oxygen atoms in KNO₃ are oxidized.
- Nitrogen atoms in KNO₃ are reduced.
- Potassium nitrate (V) KNO₃ is both the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
Explanation:
- When an atom is oxidized, its oxidation number increases.
- When an atom is reduced, its oxidation number decreases.
- The oxidizing agent contains atoms that are reduced.
- The reducing agent contains atoms that are oxidized.
Here are some common rules for assigning oxidation states.
- Oxidation states on all atoms in a neutral compound shall add up to 0.
- The average oxidation state on an atom is zero if the compound contains only atoms of that element. (E.g., the oxidation state on O in O₂ is zero.)
- The oxidation state on oxygen atoms in compounds is typically -2. (Exceptions: oxygen bonded to fluorine, and peroxides.)
- The oxidation state on group one metals (Li, Na, K) in compounds is typically +1.
- The oxidation state on group two metals (Mg, Ca, Ba) in compounds is typically +2.
- The oxidation state on H in compounds is typically +1. (Exceptions: metal hydrides where the oxidation state on H can be -1.)
For this question, only the rule about neutral compounds, oxygen, and group one metals (K in this case) are needed.
<h3>Reaction B</h3>
Oxidation states in KNO₃:
- K is a group one metal. The oxidation state on K in the compound KNO₃ shall be +1.
- The oxidation state on N tend to vary a lot, from -3 all the way to +5. Leave that as
for now. - There's no fluorine in KNO₃. The ion NO₃⁻ stands for nitrate. There's no peroxide in that ion. The oxidation state on O in this compound shall be -2.
- Let the oxidation state on N be . The oxidation state of all five atoms in the formula KNO₃ shall add up to zero.
. As a result, the oxidation state on N in KNO₃ will be +5.
Similarly, for KNO₂:
- The oxidation state on the group one metal K in KNO₂ will still be +1.
- Let the oxidation state on N be
. - There's no peroxide in the nitrite ion, NO₂⁻, either. The oxidation state on O in KNO₂ will still be -2.
- The oxidation state on all atoms in this formula shall add up to 0. Solve for the oxidation state on N:
. The oxidation state on N in KNO₂ will be +3.
Oxygen is the only element in O₂. As a result,
- The oxidation state on O in O₂ will be 0.
.
The oxidation state on two oxygen atoms in KNO₃ increases from -2 to 0. These oxygen atoms are oxidized. KNO₃ is also the reducing agent.
The oxidation state on the nitrogen atom in KNO₃ decreases from +5 to +3. That nitrogen atom is reduced. As a result, KNO₃ is also the oxidizing agent.
<h3>
Reaction A</h3>
Apply these steps to reaction A.
H₂:
O₂:
H₂O:
- Oxidation state on H: +1.
- Oxidation state on O: -2.
- Double check:
.
.
The oxidation state on oxygen atoms decreases from 0 to -2. Those oxygen atoms are reduced. O₂ is thus the oxidizing agent.
The oxidation state on hydrogen atoms increases from 0 to +1. Those hydrogen atoms are oxidized. H₂ is thus the reducing agent.
They both can form a solution.
Answer:
The health hazard warning label on Sweet ‘N Low packets has been removed, however, dangers may still lurk. According to the FDA, saccharin has been linked to bladder cancer in laboratory animals which prompted them to require warning labels on products containing this artificial sweetener in 1977.

Explanation:
First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:
Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:
Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:
