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

Calculate the energy in joules and calories required to heat 25.0 g of water from 12.5C to 25.7C

The heat (Q) required to raise the temp of a substance is:<span>Q=m∗Cp∗ΔT</span><span> where m is the mass of the object (25.0g in this case), Cp is the specific heat capacity of the substance (for water Cp = 1.00cal/gC, or 4.18J/gC,
and Dt is the change in temp.
You'll have to solve this twice, once with the Cp in calories, and once with the Cp in joules.

At a temperature of 280 K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 20.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 10.0 lite
seraphim [82]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

 

T2 = T1 x V2 / V1

 

T2 = 280 x 20.0 / 10

 

<span>T2 = 560 K</span>

Think of a resource and predict What happens to the resource when competition for it increases
MatroZZZ [7]
Lets say foxes hunt rabbits. If their are too many foxes then they will compete for the rabbits. The rabbits get outnumbered by the amount of foxes so the foxes kill all the rabbits and the rabbits could eventually go extinct.
