<span>H2CO3 <---> H+ + HCO3-
NaHCO3 <---> Na+ + HCO3-

When acid is added in the buffer, the excess H+ of that acid reacts with HCO3- to form H2CO3, and due to this NaHCO3 dissociates into HCO3- to attain the equilibrium. and hence there is no net effect of H+ due to pH remain almost constant. when a base is added to the buffer, the OH- ion of base react eith H+ ion present in buffer, then to attain equilibrium of H+ ion, the H2CO3 dissociates to produce H+ ion, but now there is the excess of HCO3- due to which Na+ ion react with them to attain equilibrium of HCO3-. hence there is again no net change in H+ ion due to which pH remain constant.....</span>

Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons.

If 12 gallons of gasoline cost $34.68, what is the unit price per gallon?
chubhunter [2.5K]
The answer is $2.89.

Since it’s asking for the unit price of one gallon and you have the total ($34.68 and 12 gallons), you would divide $34.68 from 12, which gives you $2.89.

34.68/12 = 2.89

What is the oxidation state of Hydrogen in H20<br><br> +2<br> +1<br> -2<br> -1
xeze [42]
<h3>What is the oxidation number of oxygen in H2O?</h3>

Oxygen almost always has an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides (H 2 O 2) where it is -1 and in compounds with fluorine (OF 2) where it is +2. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 when combined with non-metals, but it has an oxidation number of -1 when combined with metals.
