Answer:
a. Raise the pH slightly
Explanation:
We know that
Pka of HNO2/KNO2 =3.39
Moles of HNO2 in the buffer=0.247 mol/L×1L=0.247 moles
Moles of NO2-=0.329mol/L×1L=0.329 moles
If 0.271 moles of Ca(OH)2 is added it will neutralise 0.136 moles of acid ,HNO2,remaining HNO2=0.247-0.136=0.111 moles
Moles of NO2- will increase as 0.0333 moles Ca(NO)2 will be formed =0.0333+0.036=0.0693 moles
pH=pka+log [base]/[acid] {henderson -hasselbach equation}
=3.39+log (0.0693/0.0317)=3.39+0.34=3.73
pH=3.73
Answer:
Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth's surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity.

An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative (there is a net release of free energy),[1] indicating a spontaneous reaction. For processes that take place under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the Gibbs free energy is used whereas the Helmholtz energy is used for processes that take place under constant volume and temperature conditions.
Symbolically, the release of free energy, G, in an exergonic reaction (at constant pressure and temperature) is denoted as
{\displaystyle \Delta G=G_{\rm {products}}-G_{\rm {reactants}}<0.\,}
Although exergonic reactions are said to occur spontaneously, this does not imply that the reaction will take place at an observable rate. For instance, the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in the absence of a suitable catalyst. It has been suggested that eager would be a more intuitive term in this context.[2]
More generally, the terms exergonic and endergonic relate to the free energy change in any process, not just chemical reactions. An example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. This relates to the degrees of freedom as a consequence of entropy, the temperature, and the difference in heat released or absorbed.
By contrast, the terms exothermic and endothermic relate to the overall exchange of heat during a process
Charles' law (also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated.
