Answer:

0.0025g/cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the brown sugar = 12.9g

dimension of the sugar = 8cm

unknown:

density of the sugar = ?

Solution

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. The expression is given below:

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

We know the mass of the substance but the volume is unknown:

Volume of the brown sugar = l x bx h = 8x8x8 = 512cm³

Density of the brown sugar = $\frac{12.9}{512}$ = 0.0025g/cm³

Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

<em>That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.</em>

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.

Hydrogen gas is collected over water in an inverted buret. If the atmospheric pressure is 745 mm Hg, the vapor pressure of water

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$P_{H_2}=727mmHg$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given data, it is possible to infer that the gas mixture lies on the 15.0 cm-high column of water, so that the total pressure or atmospheric pressure is given by:

$P_{atm}=P_{water}+P_{H_2}$

Thus, since the atmospheric pressure is 745 mmHg and the vapor pressure of water is 18 mmHg, the pressure of hydrogen turns out to be:

$P_{H_2}=P_{atm}-P_{water}\\\\P_{H_2}=745mmHg-18mmHg\\\\P_{H_2}=727mmHg$

Best regards!

Gas is heated from 480. K to 750. K and the pressure is kept constant, what final volume would result if the original volume was

attashe74 [19]

Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to temperature
Therefore
V/ T = k
Where V - volume T - temperature in kelvin and k - constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
Substituting the values in the equation
267 L/ 480 K = V / 750 K
V = 417 L
Final volume is 417 L
