Answer:
a. Phosphoric Acid
b. Acetic Acid
c. Hypochlorous Acid
Explanation:
A buffer works when the pH of this one is in pKa ± 1. That means, to find which buffer system works in some pH you need to find pKa:
pKa = -log Ka
<em>pKa Acetic acid:</em>
-log1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74
<em>pKa phosphoric acid:</em>
-log7.5x10⁻³ = 2.12
<em>pKa hypochlorous acid:</em>
-log3.5x10⁻⁸ = 7.46
a. For a pH of 2.8 the best choice is phophoric acid because its effective range is: 1.12 - 3.12 and 2.8 is between these values.
b. pH 4.5. Acetic acid. effective between pH's 3.74 - 5.74
c. pH 7.5. Hypochlorous acid that works between 6.46 and 8.46
Answer: There would have to be three nitrogen atoms in the products. The law of conservation of matter states that the amount of substance before a reaction occurs should be the same as the amount of substance after the reaction.
Explanation: This is the EXACT sample answer from the test, just reword it if you want. ^
Answer:
- <u><em>1.7 × 10³ kg of ore.</em></u>
Explanation:
Call X the amount of aluminum ore mined to produce 1.0 × 10³ kg the aluminum metal.
Then, taking into account the yield of the reaction (82 % = 0.82) and the percent of aluminun in the ore (71% = 0.71), you can write the following equation:
- X × 71% × 82% = 1.0 × 10³ kg
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
(mass of ore) (% of Al in the ore) (yield) ( Al metal to obtain)
You must just simplify, solve and compute:
- X = 1,000 / (0.71 × 0.82) = 1,000 / 0.5822 = 1,717.6 Kg
Round to two significant figures; 1,700 kg = 1.7 × 10³ kg of ore ← answer.
