Answer:
1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻
Explanation:
Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.
Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻
.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I believe the answer is D because atoms are always seeking to fill up their outer electron shell/valence shell and want to gain a full octet.
The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.
There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.
We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.
The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.
The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.
The mole fraction of a gaseous compound is equal to the ratio of the vapor pressure of the compound to the total pressure of the vessel. In this case, teh vapor pressure of tehe non-electrolyte is 760 - 745 = 15 mmHg. hence the mole fraction is 15 mm Hg / 760 mmHg equal to 0.0197
