Suppose you have created a buffer solution that is 0.250 M in both benzoic acid (HC7H5O2) and potassium benzoate (KC7H5O2) and t

hat the pH of this solution is 4.65. Assuming that the buffer capacity has not been exceeded, which of the pH values listed below would you expect after adding a small amount of a dilute strong acid solution?
8.85
4.49
4.81
2.88

Answer:

4.49

Explanation:

We have a buffer form by a weak acid (HC₇H₅O₂) and its conjugate base (C₇H₅O₂⁻). The function of a buffer is to resist abrupt changes of pH when acids or bases are added. If a small amount of a dilute strong acid solution is added, pH will slightly decrease because the acid will be partially neutralized by the basic component of the buffer.

C₇H₅O₂⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ HC₇H₅O₂(aq)

If the pH of the buffer was originally 4.65, a slightly inferior value like 4.49 is plausible.

An 8.24 gram sample of a hydrated salt is heated until it has a constant mass of 6.20 grams. What was the percent by mass of wat
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

32.9%

Explanation:

<u>The mass of water </u>present in the original sample can be calculated by the substraction:

  • m H₂O = sample mass before heating - sample mass after heating
  • m H₂O = 8.24 g - 6.20 g = 2.04 g

The <u>percent by mass of water</u> can be calculated with the formula:

  • Water Mass / Original Sample Mass * 100 %
  • \frac{2.04}{6.20} * 100% = 32.9%

What reaction occurs spontaneously?
Dimas [21]

Answer: Exergonic reactions

Explanation: From the research I did, exergonic reactions occur spontaneously because they don't need the addition of energy to occur.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The reaction of hydrogen gas (H2) with oxygen gas (O2) is a COMBINATION or SYNTHESIS reaction, because multiple substances combine to form fewer substances. Here, the two gases form one substance, water (H2O):
