The main purpose of a buffer solution is just to resist the change in pH so that the pH of the solution won't be much affected when we add an acid or base into it. The added acid or base is neutralized.

Answer: A buffer solution is a solution made to prevent the pH level of something from changing when you add a base or an acid to it. For example, if you put a buffer solution in a pool, and then you put chlorine in it, the chlorine's effect on the PH level will be suppressed.

Predict how the addition of a catalyst would affect the rate of the reaction below, and explain your prediction H2 (g) + I2 (g)
Fynjy0 [20]
A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.

Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.

Perform the following conversions:<br> (a) 68°F (a pleasant spring day) to °C and K.
IgorC [24]

Converting  temperature of 68°F to °C gives 20 °C.

Converting  temperature of 68°F to K gives 293 K.

<h3>What is temperature conversion?</h3>

Temperature conversion is the process of converting  the measurement units of the temperature recorded in a particular unit to another unit.

The various units of Temperature include;

  • degree Celsius
  • degree Fahrenheit
  • degree Kelvin

Temperature is measured with thermometer and it records the hotness or coldness of a body.

<h3>Converting  68°F to °C</h3>

F = 1.8C + 32

(F - 32/1.8) = C

(68 - 32) / 1.8 = C

20 ⁰C = 68 ⁰F

<h3>Converting  20°C to K</h3>

0 °C  = 273 K

20 °C  = 273 + 20 = 293 K

What is the emperical formula of a compound containing 40.1% carbon and 6.6% hydrogen​
levacccp [35]

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

          Carbon  = 40.1%

          Hydrogen  = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

 Elements                             Carbon                             Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition                           40.1                                     6.6

Molecular mass                        12                                         1

Number of moles                  40.1/12                                  6.6/1

                                                3.342                                    6.6

Divide through by

the smallest                         3.342/3.342                           6.6/3.342

                                                      1                                        2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂
