Are beverages usually acidic or basic? Why is this?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

ACIDIC

Explanation:

Usually beverages contain carbonated water. Carbonated water is the water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas.

The carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) when dissolved in water produces carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which makes the drinks acidic in nature.

H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) → H₂CO₃(aq)

This makes the pH of the drinks around 3 - 4.

Therefore, the beverages are usually acidic and not basic.

Explain what is in a buffer. Discuss the function of a buffer. How will pH change when small amounts of acids or bases are added
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Is a substance that can maintain  certain range of pH

Explanation:

A buffer is mixture of two salts that are complementary, one salt is acid and another is basic, but since then share some part of their structure, if you add to this mixture another acid, the basic salt can absorb it and still maintaining the same pH. If you pour a base, the acid salt will absorb it and again the final pH will remain the same. So the buffers are used to maintain the same pH does not matter if you add small quantities of an acid or base.

Calculate molality,molarity and mole fraction of KI if the density of 20%(mass) aqueous KI is 1.202 g/mL
Scorpion4ik [409]
Basis: 1 L of the substance.
               (1.202 g/mL) x (1000 mL) = 1202 g 
                   mass solute = (1202 g) x 0.2 = 240.2 g
                   mass solvent = 1202 g x 0.8 =  961.6 g
                   moles KI = (240.2 g) x (1 mole / 166 g)  = 1.45 moles
                   moles water = (961.6 g) x (1 mole / 18 g) = 53.42 moles
1. Molality = moles solute / kg solvent 
                  = 1.45 moles / 0.9616 kg = 1.5 m
2. Molarity = moles solute / L solution
                  = 1.45 moles / 1 L solution = 1.45 M
3. molar mass = mole solute / total moles
                        =  1.45 moles / (1.45 moles + 53.42 moles) = 0.0264
