Answer:
Organic chemistry
Explanation:
Organic material like alcohols and esters are composed mostly of carbon structures, hence the branch is referred to as organic chemistry
A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.
Answer:
pH = 8.34
Explanation:
The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:
H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>
<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>
Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:
pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32
As the pH of amphoteric salts is:
pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2
<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>
