Answer:

amount, pH value.

Explanation:

The buffer range is the pH range in which the buffer performs optimally, i.e., neutralizes even when a strong acid or base is introduced to it and resists any major change in its pH value.

The buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added before the pH of the buffer solution changes significantly.

Thus, the final statement becomes,

Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base a buffer can handle before pushing the pH value outside of the buffer range.

Give the o.N. Of each of the elements magnesium and oxygen in the reactants and in the products 2Mg + O2=2MgO
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the rules for the oxidation states in chemical reactions, it is possible to realize that lone elements have 0 and since magnesium is in group 2A, it forms the cation Mg⁺² as it loses electrons and oxygen is in group 6A so it forms the anion O⁻²; therefore resulting oxidation numbers are:

2Mg^0 + O_2^0\rightarrow2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

Best regards!

Depression what are the effects to the brain
oksian1 [2.3K]
Depression can affect a person psychologically, it also has the potential to affect physical structures in the brain. These physical changes range from inflammation and oxygen restriction, to actual shrinking. Depression can impact the central control center of nervous system. Depression can cause amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When amygdala becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.

Thich of the following is a chemical property2
Dimas [21]

Answer:

"Freezing point  and ability to react with oxygen" are chemical properties

Explanation:

The change of liquid into solid is the freezing point. The melting point is more than the freezing point in certain cases of mixtures for certain organic compounds like fats. As soon as the mixture freezes it becomes solid and which results in change in the composition from the liquid and solid in this way the it drastically reduces the freezing point. The melting point gets higher due to the pressure. This happens due to the release of heat of which results in the rise of temperature to the freezing point .Also the reaction of elements with oxygen which leads to formation of new substance is also an chemical property

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.43 M hydrofluoric acid and 0.56 M potassium fluoride. If 0.280 moles of potassium hydroxide are
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

Equlibrium of HF in H₂O is:

HF + H₂O ⇄ F⁻ + H₃O⁺

Now, the KOH reacts with HF, thus:

KOH + HF →  F⁻ + H₂O

<em>That means after reaction, concentration of HF decrease increasing F⁻ concentration.</em>

Now, seeing the equilibrium, as moles of HF decrease and F⁻ moles increase, the equilibrium will shift to the left decreasing H₃O⁺ concentration.

For the statements:

A. The number of moles of HF will increase. <em>FALSE</em>. HF react with KOH, thus, moles of HF decrease

B. The number of moles of F- will decrease. <em>FALSE</em>. The reaction produce  F⁻ increasing its moles.

C. The equilibrium concentration of H₃O⁺ will increase. <em>FALSE. </em>The equilibrium shift to the left decreasing concentration of H₃O⁺

D. The pH will decrease. <em>FALSE</em>. As the H₃O⁺ concentration decrease, pH will increase

E. The ratio of [HF] / [F-] will remain the same. <em>FALSE</em>. Because moles of HF are decreasing whereas F- moles are increasing changing, thus, ratio.
