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!

Predict the products that will be formed by the reaction below. Al(s)+Na2SO4(s)—>
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Al₂(SO₄)₃ and Na

Explanation:

Al has a charge of +3, Na has a charge of +1 and SO₄ has a charge of -2. Since cations and anions will bond we know that Al will bond with SO₄ leaving Na by itself (since this is a single replacement reaction). When Al bonds with SO₄ it makes aluminum sulfate which is Al₂(SO₄)₃ and Na will be left by itself.
