What will happen to the pH of a buffer if acid/base ratio is increased by 100?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It will decrease by 2 units.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer is

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

Let's assume your acid has pKa = 5.

(a) If the base: acid ratio is 1:1,

pH(1) = 5 + log(1/1) = 5  + log(1) = 5 + 0 = 5

(b) If the base: acid ratio is 1:100,

pH(2) = 5 + log(1/100) = 5  + log(0.01) = 5 - 2 = 3

(c) Difference

ΔpH = pH(2) - pH(1) = 5 - 3 = -2

If you increase the acid:base ratio to 100:1, the pH will decrease by two units.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

Explanation:

The given compound is:

          2Na₂SO₄  

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

So;

  Number of atoms of elements here are:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

A solution of acetic acid and water contains 205.0 g L-1 of acetic acid and 820.0 g L-1 of water. Compute the density of the sol
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density of acetic acid \rho_a=205 gL^{-1}

Density of Water \rho_w=820 gL^{-1}

Generally the equation for Solution Density is mathematically given by

\rho_t= \rho_w+\rho_a

\rho_t=205+820

\rho_t=1025 gL^{-1}

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}
