Answer:

Odd answer choices, but I would put "It shows you that water is a reversible reaction, which contains hydrogen and hydroxide reactions."

Explanation:

The first choice is weird, although water can be written as HOH that doesn't help you understand acids and bases.

The third choice doesn't do that either, and there are more ways for water to be formed than that.

The second choice helps you understand acids and bases, specifically, in water's self-ionization process. It also shows you that it is neutral because it is formed from Hydrogen, which is usually present in acids, and a Hydroxide group, which is usually present in bases.

A solution is made by mixing 0.82 grams of sodium acetate, 1 mL of 12 M acetic acid (pKa=4.76) and water to give a final volume

kompoz [17]

Answer:

This solution acts as an efficient buffer

Explanation:

the pH of a buffer solution can be described like this: $pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

[acid]=[acetic acid]= $1mL.\frac{12mol}{1000mL} . \frac{1}{1L} = 0.012M$

[base]=[sodium acetate]= $0.82g.\frac{1mol}{82g} .\frac{1}{1l} = 0.01M$

replacing, $pH=4.76+log\frac{0.01M}{0.012M} =4.84$

If we add an acid, pH will decrease a little bit and if we add a base, pH wil increase a little bit.

lets supose that we change the rate by increasing [base] to 0.1, then

$pH=4,76+log\frac{0.1}{0.012} = 5.68$

and now lets supose that we increase [acid] to 0.1 $pH=4.76+log\frac{0.01}{0.1} = 3.76$

Big changes in concentration of base or acid doesn´t produce big changes in pH, in that way the mix of sodium acetate with acetic acid is a good buffer solution.

It is called the atomic number. (In physics it can also be called the proton number)
