2. Lemon and orange juice contains citric acid. Citric acid is used in the preparation of effervescent salts and as a food preservative.

3. Acids have been put to many uses in industry. Nitric acid and sulphuric acid are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, dyes, paints, drugs and explosives.

4. Sulphuric acid is used in batteries, which are used in cars, etc. Tannic acid is used in the manufacture of ink and leather.

state the formula for potassium hydroxide and explain, in terms of charges, how you formed the formula
Ganezh [65]

Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and oxygen has a charge of <span>O<span>2−</span></span>. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula <span><span>K2</span>O</span>.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and hydroxide has a charge of <span>OH−</span>. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span> H2</span>O→KOH</span>

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span>H2</span>O→2KOH</span>

I hope this was helpful.

Buffering capacity refers to: the effectiveness of commercial antacids the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the
kirill [66]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Buffere is defined as the solution to whom when an acid or base is added then it resists any in change in pH of the solution.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. So, basically it keeps the concentration of both hydrogen ions and hydroxides equal. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

And, the capacity of a buffer solution to resist the change is known as buffer capacity.

Thus, we can conclude that buffering capacity refers to the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the effect of added acid or base.
