You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acetate plus acetate concentration
vovangra [49]

<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

The ion [Co(NH3)6]2+
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

The answer would be  B.

As paramagnetic with 3 unpaired electrons. Since there are 6 ligands around the Co+2 ion it isoctahedral and these ligands are neutral. This makes the overall charge on the complex +2 and therefore comes from the configuration for Co+2 which is [Ar] 3d7. Since it is in high spin you must fill all the orbitals with at least one electron and then pair up any that remain. If you do this, 3 unpaired electrons remain. Para magnetism occurs in substances with unpaired electrons.

5. A gas has a pressure of 1.26 atm and occupies a volume of 7.40 L. If the gas
marin [14]

Answer:

0.499atm

Explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm

the answer must have 3 sig figs
