Which of the pairs below would be the best choice for a pH 5 buffer? HF/NaF, K a (HF) = 3.5 × 10-4 HC2H3O2/KC2H3O2, K a (HC2H3O2

) = 1.8 × 10-5 NH3/NH4Cl, K b (NH3) = 1.8 × 10-5

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]}


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>

A and B are experiencing winter. The picture which isn't available here in this question is attached below.

Option C.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The earth is tilt by an angle of 23.2° to the vertical plane. This makes the seasonal variation of earth, because in some time of the year, the northern hemisphere faces the sun directly, experiencing summer and then southern hemisphere is away from summer experiencing winter and vice versa. The summer occurs when the place directly faces the sun. And the winter happens when the place obliquely faces the sun or doesn't face the sun at all.

Here in this diagram, we can see that the points A and B are the north pole and the part in northern hemisphere respectively which aren't facing the sun directly, whereas C and D are facing the sun. Thus the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer and the northern hemisphere the winter.

Is carbon dioxide a reactant
Harman [31]

Answer: No

Explanation: <em>Reactants</em> are the substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, for example, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. <em>Products </em>are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.
