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 />

An atom of element X has one more shell of electrons than an atom of beryllium, but it has one less valance electron than beryll
irakobra [83]
The atomic number of Be is 4, and so it has 2 shells. There are valence electrons in the second, which is the outermost, shell of Be. To get the element with one more shell, there would be 3 shells on the new element, and 1 less valence electron, so the new element should have 1 valence electron. Sodium is the element with 3 shells, and one valence electron which fits perfectly into the description.

How many electrons are needed for 1 coulomb of negative charge?​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A single electron has a charge of 1.60217733 × 10-19 Coulombs. A collection of 6.2415 × 1018 electrons has a charge of one Coulomb (1/1.60217733x10-19). 1.6 into 10 raise to power -19 no of electrons are present in one coulomb of charge.

How do everyday activities like driving a car and using electricity lead to global warming ?
Sati [7]
Both driving a car and using electricity produce several greenhouse gases which can lead to global warming.Greenhouse gases are gases that, when released into the atmosphere, trap the heat from the sun's energy. Every day the energy from the sun reaches the earth. Some of the energy is reflected back into space and some of the energy is trapped by the earth's atmosphere. Most of the time the energy being trapped by the atmosphere serves to warm up the earth, so that the temperature does not fluctuate dramatically. In this way the atmosphere acts like a greenhouse - trapping the warmth in. One of the ways that electricity is made is by burning fossil fuels, like coal or fuel. When a fuel is burnt, some of the products are: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water - all of these gases are greenhouse gases. In a similar way driving a car also burns fossil fuels, and this will produce the same gases.<span>Before lots of fossil fuels were burnt the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would have been moderated by the carbon cycle. However, if we burn excess fossil fuels we are producing excess greenhouse gases. This can cause more heat to be trapped by the atmosphere and therefore the global temperature will start to rise - global warming. hope i helped </span>
