<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

Answer:

\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}

A student combined two colorless aqueous solutions. One of the solutions contained Na2CO3 as the solute and the other contained
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Bubbles will be formed when two solutions will be combined.

Explanation:

When the solution containing Na_{2}CO_{3} and HCl as a solute will be combined, the reaction will be as follows,

Na_{2}CO_{3}(aq) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow   2NaCl(aq)+ H_{2}O(l)+CO_{2}(g)

As a result of combination of the two solutions bubbles will be formed which will depict the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.

How is an analogy different from a metaphor
iragen [17]
An analogy is a comparison between two things
Example: banana is to yellow as red is to apple OR banana:yellow as red:apple

A metaphor is a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied and it’s not literal.
Example: it’s raining cats and dogs. It’s not really raining literal cats and dogs. It’s just raining really hard.
