Why does a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid act as a better buffer than does a solution?

german

Hello!

A solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid act as a better buffer than does a solution of a weak base alone because <span>A solution of a weak base alone has no acid present to absorb added base.</span>

If an acid (In this case HCl) is added to a buffer or a weak base solution, the following reaction happens:

HCl + A⁻ → HA + Cl⁻

In this way, the addition of acid is neutralized by the base.

If a base is added (In this case NaOH), only a solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid can react in the following way:

NaOH + HA → NaA + H₂O

So, a solution of only a weak base can resist the addition of acids but not bases, so it isn't a good buffer.

Have a nice day!

Elimination of the pharmaceutical IV antibiotic gentamicin follows first-order kinetics. If the half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 h

Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

The given data is:

The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.

The reaction follows first-order kinetics.

The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.

The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:

The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}$

Where k = rate constant

t1/2=half-life

So, the rate constant k value is:

$k=\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs}$

The expression for the rate constant is :

$k=\frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{initial concentration}{concentration after time "t"}$

Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:

$\frac{0.693}{1.5 hrs} =\frac{2.303}{8 hrs} x log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} \\ log \frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y} =1.604\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=10^1^.^6^0^4\\\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{y}=40.18\\y=\frac{8.4x10^-^5}{40.18} \\=>y=2.09x10^-^6$

Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.

Calculate δs∘rxn for the reaction2no(g) o2(g)→2no2(g)express your answer to one decimal place and include the appropriate units

Anna35 [415]

The δs∘rxn for the reaction $2NO(g) + O_{2}$ → $2NO_{2} (g)$ will be -146 J/K.

Entropy would be a measurable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty.

Entropy would be a measurement of the system's unpredictability or disorder. The entropy increases as randomness do. It has broad properties as well as a state function. It has the unit $JK^{-1} mol^{-1}$ .
