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>

In a furnace zinc is a gas but lead is a liquid. <br><br> Suggest why?
Tems11 [23]

I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.

Write the net ionic reaction that occurs upon the addition of hno3 to a solution which contains methylamine (ch3nh2) and methyla

Hello!

First, HNO₃ dissociates in the following way:

HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

Next, there is a neutralization reaction with Methylamine:

H⁺(aq) + CH₃NH₂(aq) → CH₃NH₃⁺(aq)

Finally, the formed methylammonium ion weakly dissociates in the following way:

CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)  ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CH₃NH₂ (aq)

From this sequence of reactions, we can see that the resulting solution would be slightly more acidic than the initial one, as the buffer solution resists the addition of strong acid.

Have a nice day!

What is the molarity of a 2.0 liter solution containing 58 grams of nacl?
Savatey [412]
First, need to know the formula of Molarity. 
                     moles of solute
  Molarity = ---------------------------
                      liters of solution

Given 
    2.0 liter of solution 
    58 grams of NaCl

Base of my research the moles of 58 grams of NaCl is 0.750 moles

Solution

                    0.750 moles
Molarity = -----------------------              = 0.375
                             2.0 L

The molarity of this solution is 0.375
