Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.

Why is a solution that is 0.10M HCN and 0.10M LiCN considered a good buffer system?

const2013 [10]

Because of the common ion effect. Adding a common ion decreases the solubility of the salt which is the intention of a buffer.

Consider an exceptionally weak acid, HA, with a Ka = 1x10 -20 . You make a 0.1M solution of the salt Na

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$pH=13$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the acid, we can suppose a simple dissociation as:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-$

Which occurs in aqueous phase, therefore, the law of mass action is written by:

$Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

That in terms of the change $x$ due to the reaction's extent we can write:

$1x10^{-20}=\frac{x*x}{0.1M-x}$

But we prefer to compute the Kb due to its exceptional weakness:

$Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1x10^{-20}} =1x10^{-6}$

Next, the acid dissociation in the presence of the base we have:

$Kb=\frac{[OH^-][HA]}{[A^-]}=1x10^{6}=\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}$

Whose solution is $x=0.0999M$ which equals the concentration of hydroxyl in the solution, thus we compute the pOH:

$pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log(0.0999)=1$

Finally, since the maximum scale is 14, we can compute the pH by knowing the pOH:

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH=14-1\\\\pH=13$

Regards.
