Explanation:
substance Q could be <em><u>oxygen (O2)</u></em>
substance R could be <em><u>carbon</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>x</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>C</u></em><em><u>O</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>
Answer:
28
Explanation:
it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjuagate%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bacid%7D%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70
![[\text{conjuagate base}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjuagate%20base%7D%5D%7D)
= moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles
![[\text{acid}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7Bacid%7D%5D)
= Moles of acid = 4.00 moles
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61
That's cool man, you should study more... wheres the question though?
