Answer:

a. pH = 5.22

b. Acidic.

c. pH = 5.14

Explanation:

a. It is possible to find the pH of a buffer using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation (H-H equation):

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka (For acetic acid =  4.74), [A⁻] is molar concentration of conjugate base (Acetate salt) and [HA] concentration of the weak acid (Acetic acid).</em>

Replacing:

pH = 4.74 + log₁₀ [0.600M] / [0.200M]

<em>You use the concentration of the acetic acid and sodium acetate because you're adding equal volumes, doing the ratio of the species the same</em>

<em />

<h3>pH = 5.22</h3><h3 />

b. As the solution has a pH lower that 7.0, it is considered as a <em>acidic solution.</em>

<em></em>

c. When you add HCl to the buffer, the reaction is:

CH₃COO⁻ + HCl → CH₃COOH + Cl⁻

<em>Where acetate ion reacts with the acid producing acetic acid.</em>

As you have 0.200L of the buffer, 0.100L are of the acetate ion and 0.100L of the acetic acid. Initial moles of both compounds and moles of HCl added are:

CH₃COO⁻: 0.100L ₓ (0.600mol / L) = 0.0600 moles

CH₃COOH: 0.100L ₓ (0.200mol / L) = 0.0200 moles

HCl: 3.0mL = 3x10⁻³L ₓ (0.034mol / L) =  0.00010 moles HCl

The moles added of HCl are the same moles you're consuming of acetate ion and producing of acetic acid. Thus, moles after the reaction are:

CH₃COO⁻: 0.0600 moles - 0.0001 moles = 0.0509 moles

CH₃COOH: 0.0200 moles + 0.0001 moles = 0.0201 moles

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 4.74 + log₁₀ [0.0509moles] / [0.0201moles]

<h3>pH = 5.14</h3>

Which of the following causes clouds to form? (1 point)
elena-s [515]
The answer is B, early in the morning water covered areas (lakes,ponds,puddles,etc.) will vaporize a little bit because of the heat from the sun and it will continue all day, vapors rise towards the atmosphere and since it's a lot cooler there it will condense into a cloud which is full of tiny frozen water particles. Hope this helps <span />

Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having which type(s) of crystal structure(s)?
kari74 [83]
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.

1. Using the Slater rule, determine the effective nuclear charge of platinum.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Z* = 3.55

Explanation:

Slater rule says that:

Z*= Z - S

Z* be the nuclear effective charge

Z is the nuclear charge

S is the shielding constant

First we write the electronic configuration of platinum:1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{6} 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{6} 4f^{14} 5d^{9} 6s^{1}

The first Slater rule says that we need to group:

(1s^{2}) (2s, 2p)^{8} (3s, 3p)^{8} (3d^{10}) (4s, 4p)^{8} (4d^{10}) (5s, 5p)^{8} (4f^{14}) (5d^{9}) (6s^{1})

The second rule says that the electrons to the right are not shielding, but we are going to solve the exercise for the last level (6s), so we don't have electrons to the right.

For the third rule we have two considerations, if is ns or np and if is nd or nf:

For our case, we have an electro that is in ns, so the rule says that

-electrons within same group shield 0.35, except the 1s which shield 0.30

-electrons within the n-1 group shield 0.85

-electrons within the n-2 or lower groups shield 1.00

Now we can proceed with the calculation:

The first consideration in the third rule does not apply as we only have one electron on this level.

The second consideration will be as follow for the level 5, where we have 17 electrons.

Finally the third consideration will be for levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where we have 14 for 4f, 10 for 4d, 8 for 4s and 4p, 10 for 3d, 8 for 3s and 3p, 8 for 2s and 2p and finally 2 for 1s, which gives 60 electrons.

So the result for S=(60*1.00 + 17*0.85) = 74.45

And the equation is: Z* = 78 - 74.45

So Z* = 3.55
