Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of sample ,m=385 g

Volume ,V=20mL

We have to find the coin is gold or yellow brass.

We know that

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

Using the formula

Density=\frac{385}{20}g/mL

Density=19.25g/mL

Density\approx 19.3g/mL

Density of coin=19.3g/mL

Density of gold=19.3g/mL

Hence, the coin is gold.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

12 g of choloracetic acid

Explanation:

The buffer equilibrium is:

HCH₂ClCO₂ ⇄ CH₂ClCO₂⁻ + H⁺

pka= -log ka =

Ka: 1,3x10⁻³ = [CH₂ClCO₂⁻] [H⁺] / [HCH₂ClCO₂]

By Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

3,01 = 2,89 + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

1,318 = [A⁻] / [HA]

As molar concentration of chloroacetic acid (HA) is 0,20M

[A⁻] = 0,26 mol/L

The volume is 500 mL ≡ 0,5 L

0,26mol/L × 0,5 L = 0,13 moles of chloroacetic acid. In grams:

0,13 mol × (94,5g / 1mol) = <em>12 g of choloracetic acid</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
