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>

What is equal to the number of particles in 36 grams of carbon-12?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will  use the Avogadro numbers.

The number 6.022×10²³ is called Avogadro number and it is the number of atoms, ions or molecules in one mole of substance.  According to this,

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole =  6.022×10²³  atoms.

18 g water = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

we are given 36 g of C-12. So,

12 g of C-12 = 1 mole

24 g of C-12 =  2 mole

36 g of C-12 = 3 mole

So 3 moles of C-12 equals to the number of particles in 36 g of C-12.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting point and low boiling point. The error in the statement is that ionic compound have low boiling point, instead ionic compounds have high boiling point, because in an ionic compound, the force of attraction working between two ions is very strong and hence the bonds present are very strong, and a lot of energy is needed to break them

An unknown gaseous substance has a density of 1.06 g/L at 31 °C and 371 torr. If the substance has the following percent composi
Anarel [89]

Answer:

C) C4H6 - Right answer

Explanation:

Let's combine the Ideal Gases Law with density to get the molecular formula for the unknown gas.

Density = mass / volume

1.06 g /L means that 1.06 grams of compound occupy 1 liter of volume.

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure in Torr must be converted to atm

760 Torr are 1 atm

371 Torr  are __ (371 .1)/760 = 0.488 atm

0.488 atm . 1L = 1.06g/MM . 0.082 . 304K

(0.488 atm . 1L) / 0.082 . 304K = 1.06g/ MM

Mass / Molar mass = Moles → That's why the 1.06 g / MM

0.0195 mol = 1.06g / MM

1.06g/0.0195 mol = MM →  54.3 g/m

Now, let's use the composition

100 g of compound have 88.8 g of C

54.3 g of compound have ___ (54.3  . 88.8) /100 = 48 g of C

100 g of compound have 11.2 g of H

54.3 g of compound have __ (54.3  .  11.2)/100 = 6 g of H

48 g of C are included un 4 atoms

6 g of H are included in 6 atoms
