You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of a

cetic acid. How many millimoles of acetate (the conjugate base of acetic acid) will you need to add to this solution?

Answer:

56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer

Explanation:

To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])

To make the buffer we know:

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄   CH₃COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺     Ka

We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.74

We replace data:

5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles

Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence ele
Zina [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.

60g ethane requires 7x32= 224g oxygen

here ethane is in excess.oxygen will be fully consumed

hence

300g oxygen will consume

leaving (270-80.36)= 189.64 g ethane.

By the Balanced eqn

60g ethane produces 4x44 g CO2

hence amount of CO2 produced =
