6. An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of pH 10.00 to study the effects of acid rain on limestone-rich soils. To p

repare this buffer she will add solid Na2CO3 (106.0 g/mol) to 1.50 L of 0.20 M NaHCO3 . (Ka = 4.7 x 10−11 ) HCO3 − (aq) + H2O(l) ↔ CO3 2− (aq) + H3O + (aq) A. What must the final concentration of Na2CO3 be once mixed with the NaHCO3 solution to obtain a buffer with the correct pH?

Answer:

[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base,  [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and  [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.

pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>

<em />

Replacing these values:

10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]

<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>

<em />

Cans of regular soda have volumes with a mean of 14.5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.18 oz. What is the maximum "usual" value
tangare [24]

Answer:

14.68 oz

Explanation:

The mean volume is the average volume of all the regular soda cans put together; 14.5 oz. The standard deviation 0.18 oz is the maximum deviation from the mean. It can be 14.5-0.18= 14.32 oz which is the usual minimum or 14.5 + 0.18=14.68 oz which is the usual maximum

Answer:

Which of the following

properties distinguishes a solution

oversaturated with a dilute?

  • The supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent has dissolved more solute than it can dissolve in the saturation equilibrium.  The solute can be a solid, or a gas. The molecules of the solvent surround those of the solute and seek to open space between themselves to be able to harbor more amount of solute.
  • A dilute solution is a solution that has not reached the maximum concentration of solute dissolved in a solvent. The additional solute will dissolve when added in a dilute solution and will not appear in the aqueous phase.   It is considered a state of dynamic equilibrium where the speeds in which the solvent dissolves the solute are greater than the recrystallization rate.

What do we know about elements with half-filled energy levels??
lisabon 2012 [21]
If the energy level of a certain element is filled based on the maximum number of allowable electrons per level, then it is no longer reactive. With this, half-filled energy level means that the element may retain those electrons and attract electrons from other elements or it may give off its electrons.
