Answer:

CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:

<h3>CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺</h3>

<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>

How many gram-atoms are in 120-gram sample of calcium metal? How many atoms is this?
Elden [556K]
(sample g/1) X (1 mole/40.078(MW of Ca)) = moles of sample (moles of sample)(6.022 x 10^23( no of atoms)/ 1 mole) = # of atoms in a 120 g sample of calcium Avogadro's number=6.022x 10^23 atoms in 1 mole

How many grams of Cl are in 525g of CaCl2
Tema [17]

First we determine the moles CaCl2 present:

525g / (110.9g/mole) = 4.73 moles CaCl2 present 

Based on stoichiometry, there are 2 moles of Cl for every mole of CaCl2:<span>
(2moles Cl / 1mole CaCl2) x 4.73 moles CaCl2 = 9.47 moles Cl </span>

Get the mass:<span>
<span>9.47moles Cl x 35.45g/mole = 335.64 g Cl</span></span>
