What is the purpose of a buffer?

Chemistry

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.

Identify the limiting reactant in the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form NH3 if 5.23 g of N2 and 5.52 g of H2 are combine
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

1) The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

2) The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = 4.39 g.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we should write the balanced equation of the reaction:

<em>N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.</em>

<em>1) To determine the limiting reactant of the reaction:</em>

  • From the stichiometry of the balanced equation, 1.0 mole of N₂ reacts with 3.0 moles of H₂ to produce 2.0 moles of NH₃.
  • This means that <em>N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).</em>
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles (n) of N₂ (5.23 g) and H₂ (5.52 g) using the relation:<em> n = mass / molar mass.</em>

The no. of moles of N₂ in (5.23 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.23 g) / (28.00 g/mol) = 0.1868 mol.

The no. of moles of H₂ (5.52 g) = mass / molar mass = (5.52 g) / (2.015 g/mol) = 2.74 mol.

  • From the stichiometry, N₂ reacts with H₂ with a ratio of (1:3).

The ratio of the reactants of N₂ (5.23 g, 0.1868 mol) to H₂ (5.52 g, 2.74 mol) is (1:14.67).

∴ The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.

0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.

<em>2) To determine the amount (in grams) of excess reactant of the reaction:</em>

  • As showed in the part 1, The limiting reactant is N₂ because it is present with the lower no. of moles than H₂.
  • Also, 0.1868 mol of N₂ react completely with 0.5604 mol of H₂ and the remaining of H₂ is in excess.
  • The no. of moles are in excess of H₂ = 2.74 mol - 0.5604 mol (reacted with N₂) = 2.1796 mol.
  • ∴ The amount (in grams) of excess reactant H₂ = n (excess moles) x molar mass = (2.1796 mol)((2.015 g/mol) = 4.39 g.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.
