A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges. Buffer solutions have a working pH range and capacity which dictate how much acid/base can be neutralized before pH changes, and the amount by which it will change.

HELP. NO FAKE ANSWERS. I WILL REPORT. I AM CONFUSED AND NEED HELP. FILL IN THE NOT FILLED BOXES POR FAVOR.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Question #1
Potasium hydroxide (known)
 volume used is 25 ml 
Molarity (concentration) = 0.150 M
Moles of KOH used 
           0.150 × 25/1000 = 0.00375 moles
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) 
volume used = 15.0 ml
unknown concentration
The equation for the reaction is
2KOH (aq)+ H2SO4(aq) = K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) 
Thus, the Mole ratio of KOH to H2SO4 is 2:1
Therefore, moles of H2SO4 used will be;
      0.00375 × 1/2 = 0.001875 moles
Acid (sulfuric acid)  concentration
    0.001875 moles × 1000/15  
        = 0.125 M

Question #2
Hydrogen bromide (acid)
Volume used = 30 ml
Concentration is 0.250 M
Moles of HBr used;
      0.25 × 30/1000
        =  0.0075 moles 
Sodium Hydroxide (base)
Volume used 20 ml 
Concentration (unknown)
The equation for the reaction is 
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
The mole ratio of NaOH : HBr   is 1 : 1
Therefore, moles of NaOH used;
                 = 0.0075 moles
NaOH concentration will be 
       = 0.0075 moles × 1000/20
       = 0.375 M

A 10.0 mL sample of 0.25 M NaOH(aq) is titrated with 0.10 M HCl(aq) (adding HCl to NaOH). Determine which region on the titratio
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1) After adding 15.0 mL of the HCl solution, the mixture is before the equivalence point on the titration curve.

2) The pH of the solution after adding HCl is 12.6

Explanation:

10.0 mL of 0.25 M NaOH(aq) react with 15.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl(aq). Let's calculate the moles of each reactant.

nNaOH=\frac{0.25mol}{L} .10.0 \times 10^{-3} L=2.5 \times 10^{-3}mol

nHCl=\frac{0.10mol}{L} \times 15.0 \times 10^{-3} L=1.5 \times 10^{-3}mol

There is an excess of NaOH so the mixture is before the equivalence point. When HCl completely reacts, we can calculate the moles in excess of NaOH.

                    NaOH       +       HCl       ⇒       NaCl      +         H₂O

Initial          2.5 × 10⁻³         1.5 × 10⁻³               0                      0

Reaction    -1.5 × 10⁻³        -1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³

Final            1.0 × 10⁻³               0                 1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³

The concentration of NaOH is:

[NaOH]=\frac{1.0 \times 10^{-3} mol }{25.0 \times 10^{-3} L} =0.040M

NaOH is a strong base so [OH⁻] = [NaOH].

Finally, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.040 = 1.4

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.4 = 12.6

Consider a 100-gram sample of radioactive cobalt-60.
svetlana [45]

It will take 5.2 years to decay.

The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.

here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,

so, (\frac{1}{2} )^{n} = 0.5

n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)

n = 1

So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.

what do you mean by radioactive decay ?

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.
