Answer:

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.

c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.

d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.

f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.

How many grams of PbBr2 will precipitate when excess CuBr2 solution is added to 77.0 mL of 0.595 M Pb(NO3)2 solution?Pb(NO3)2(aq
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

16.89g of PbBr2

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole of Pb(NO3)2. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of Pb(NO3)2 = 0.595M

Volume = 77mL = 77/1000 = 0.077L

Mole =?

Molarity = mole/Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Pb(NO3)2 = 0.595x0.077

Mole of Pb(NO3)2 = 0.046mol

Convert 0.046mol of Pb(NO3)2 to grams as shown below:

Molar Mass of Pb(NO3)2 =

207 + 2[ 14 + (16x3)]

= 207 + 2[14 + 48]

= 207 + 2[62] = 207 +124 = 331g/mol

Mass of Pb(NO3)2 = number of mole x molar Mass = 0.046 x 331 = 15.23g

Molar Mass of PbBr2 = 207 + (2x80) = 207 + 160 = 367g/mol

Equation for the reaction is given below:

Pb(NO3)2 + CuBr2 —> PbBr2 + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above,

331g of Pb(NO3)2 precipitated 367g of PbBr2

Therefore, 15.23g of Pb(NO3)2 will precipitate = (15.23x367)/331 = 16.89g of PbBr2

Water (with density of 1000 kg/m3) with the mass flowrate of 10 kg/sec is flowing into an empty tank. The outlet volumetric flow
Montano1993 [528]

Explanation:

Apply the mass of balance as follows.

   Rate of accumulation of water within the tank = rate of mass of water entering the tank - rate of mass of water releasing from the tank

         \frac{d}{dt}(\rho V) = 10 - \rho \times (0.01 h)

      \rho A_{c} \frac{dh}{dt} = 10 - (0.01) \rho h

   \frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{0.01 \rho h}{\rho A_{c}} = \frac{10}{\rho A_{c}}

          [/tex]\frac{dh}{dt} + \frac{0.01}{0.01}h[/tex] = \frac{10}{\rho A_{c}}

                       A_{c} = 0.01 m^{2}

              \frac{dh}{dt} + h = 1

                  \frac{dh}{dt} = 1 - h

               \frac{dh}{1 - h} = dt  

                \frac{ln(1 - h)}{-1} = t + C      

Given at t = 0 and V = 0  

                         A \times h = 0  

 or,                     h = 0

                 -ln(1 - h) = t + C

Initial condition is -ln(1) = 0 + C

                                C = 0  

                So,   -ln(1 - h) = t

or,                      t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - h})  ........... (1)

(a)    Using equation (1) calculate time to fill the tank up to 0.6 meter from the bottom as follows.

                    t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - h})  

                     t = ln (\frac{1}{1 - 0.6})  

                        = ln (\frac{1}{0.4})

                        = 0.916 seconds

(b)   As maximum height of water level in the tank is achieved at steady state that is, t = \infty.  

                    1 - h = exp (-t)

                    1 - h = 0  

                         h = 1

Hence, we can conclude that the tank cannot be filled up to 2 meters as maximum height achieved is 1 meter.

What type of solvent would be required to dissolve nonpolar compounds?
mina [271]
For example, ionic compounds, which are very polar, are often soluble in the polar solvent water. Nonpolar substances are likely to dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, nonpolar molecular substances are likely to dissolve in hexane, a common nonpolar solvent.

What is the luster of aluminum
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Luster of aluminum is Silver-White.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a Silver-White metal which is extracted from the Bauxite ore which can be reddish brown, white, tan, grey-white and tan-yellow in color and have the minerals like Gibbsite, Boehmite and Diaspore which are the minerals of the aluminium.

The Bauxite is the rock from which the Bauxite ore is extracted which have the minerals of the aluminum.

The luster of a metal is the color and shine of it and its shiny appearance.

Aluminium is a light weight metal but have a moderate hardness which makes a wider use of it. Aluminium is used in many places where the weight of the material is kept light but its hardness can be increased by mixing some other metals in it making hard alloy with lighter weight.

It is used in transportation vehicles, buildings, and many other places like Air crafts as the weight should be kept controlled to give a perfect lift to the Air craft.
