Answer:

pH = 10.9

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to say that the undergoing reaction between this buffer and OH⁻ promotes the formation of more CO₃²⁻ because it acts as the base, we can do the following:

n_{CO_3^{2-}}=0.34mol/L*0.250L+0.0585mol=0.1435mol\\\\n_{HCO_3^{-}}=0.34mol/L*0.250L-0.0585mol=0.0265mol

The resulting concentrations are:

[CO_3^{2-}]=\frac{0.1435mol}{0.25L}=0.574M \\

[HCO_3^{-}]=\frac{0.0265mol}{0.25L}=0.106M

Thus, since the pKa of this buffer system is 10.2, the change in the pH would be:

pH=10.2+log(\frac{0.574M}{0.106M} )\\\\pH=10.9

Which makes sense since basic OH⁻ ions were added.

Regards!

A pharmaceutical company wants to test the efficiency of its new drug production techniques so they run 3 shifts of production f
spayn [35]

The percentage yield of the  new production technique is 82.8%

<h3>What is the percentage yield?</h3>

Production is the procedure by which finished products are obtained form the raw materials. The production process involves the passing of raw materials through a certain procedure that involves the use of certain machines and equipment to give us the required products.

We are told in the question that there are three shifts;

Shift 1 produces 4562 grams

Shift 2 produces 5783 grams

Shift 3 produces 5247 grams

Average production from the three shifts = 4562 grams + 5783 grams +  5247 grams/3 = 5197 grams

The theoretical average yield is =  7000 grams + 7000 grams + 7000 grams/3 = 7000 grams

Now the percentage yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1

percentage yield = 5197 grams/7000 grams * 100/1

percentage yield = 82.8%
