You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 4.97. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of

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

Answer:

16.9 mmoles are needed to add to the solution

Explanation:

To solve this, we can apply the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

Acetic acid → CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃COO⁻   +  H₃O⁺             Ka

That is the acid base equilibrium, to determine the amount:

pKa of acetic acid is 4.74

Henderson Hasselbach formula is:

pH = pKa + log (base/acid)

We replace  →  4.97 = 4.74 + log (B / 10mmoles)

Let's verify mmoles of B

4.97 - 4.74 = log (B/10)

0.23 =  log (B/10)

10^(0.23) = 10^(log (B/10)

1.698 = B/10

B = 1.698 . 10 → 16.9 mmoles

You have used 2.4×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

63.36gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of water used for dialysis = 2.4 x 10²L

Solution:

We are to convert from liters to gallons.

The conversion factor is shown below:

                1L = 0.264gallons

To convert to litre:

       since 1L = 0.264gallons

             2.4 x 10²L = (2.4 x 10² x 0.264)gallons; 63.36gallons

What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample?
snow_tiger [21]
The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.

How many moles are equal to 3.0x10^23 atoms of germanium? PLS ANSWER WITH WORK!
horrorfan [7]
1 mole=6.02 x 10^23 atoms so how many moles are there in 3.0 x 10^23 we will cross multiply, 1 x 3.0 x 10^23 / 6.02 x 10 ^23. Which will give us 0.498 moles.
Hope this helped
