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.

Find the number of Grams
zaharov [31]

Answer: 462 g

Explanation:molar mass is M= 63.55 +2·(12.01+14.01)= 115.59 g/mol.

Mass m= n·M = 4.0 mol·115.59 g/mol= 462.36 g

Calculate the change in temperature (ΔT) that occurs when 8000 J of energy (q) is used to heat up a mass (m) of 75 g of water. (
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The change in temperature that occurs when 8000 J of heat is used by a mass 75 g of water is 25.4 °C

Explanation:

H = mc ΔT

m = 75 g

c = 4. 200 J/ g °C

H = 8000 J

ΔT =?

Rearranging the formula, making ΔT the subject of formula;

ΔT = H / m c

ΔT = 8000 / 75 * 4.200

ΔT = 8000 / 315

ΔT = 25.4 °C

What volume of 0.350 m koh is required to react completely with 24.0 ml of 0.650 m h3po4?
BartSMP [9]

The complete balanced chemical equation for this is:

<span>3KOH  +  H3PO4  -->  K3PO4  +  3H2O</span>

 

First we calculate the number of moles of H3PO4:

moles H3PO4 = 0.650 moles / L * 0.024 L = 0.0156 mol

 

From stoichiometry, 3 moles of KOH is required for every mole of H3PO4, therefore:

moles KOH = 0.0156 mol H3PO4 * (3 moles KOH / 1 mole H3PO4) = 0.0468 mol

 

Calculating for volume given molarity of 0.350 M KOH:

Volume = 0.0468 mol / (0.350 mol / L) = 0.1337 L = 133.7 mL

 

Answer:

<span>133.7 mL KOH</span>
