You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acetate plus acetate concentration

of 250 mm and a ph of 5. what concentrations of acetic acid and sodium acetate should you use
Chemistry

<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

Why do you Think you weight less on Uranus than earth even though it is more massive planet ? 
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

You would weigh less on Uranus than on Earth because Uranus is far less mass-ive and dense than the Earth. This means that there is less gravity. Therefore, you would weigh less.

Explanation:

Even though Uranus is bigger, it is less massive; that is, there is less mass that makes up the planet. The volume of the planet might be larger, but the actual amount of mass isn't.

By the way, you couldn't stand on Uranus. It's made of gas!

Which of these is an isoelectronic series? question 7 options: 1) na+, k+, rb+, cs+ 2) k+, ca2+, ar, s2– 3) na+, mg2+, s2–, cl–
-BARSIC- [3]
An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6, Ar = 18

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
     K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
     Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
    Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
    Ar:  18 electrons
    S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
    Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
     S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
    Be=4 electrons
    B=5 electrons
    C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.
