Answer:

(C) HClO, pKa = 7.54

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that can resist abrupt changes in pH when acids or bases are added. It is formed by two components:

  • A weak acid and its conjugate base.
  • A weak base and its conjugate acid.

In this case, acid and base are defined according to Bronsted-Löwry theory, which states that acids are substances that <em>release H⁺</em> and bases are substances that <em>accept H⁺. </em>Therefore, when an acid loses an H⁺ transforms into its conjugated base. For example, HF/F⁻ is a conjugate acid-base pair.

In buffers, when an acid is added, it reacts with the base to diminish its amount:

F⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ HF

Also in buffers, when a base is added, it reacts with the acid to diminish its amount:

HF + OH⁻ = F⁻ + H₂O

The optimum pH range of work of a buffer system (known as buffer range) is between 1 unit less and 1 unit more of pH than its pKa.

So, the buffer formed by HClO/ClO⁻ works optimally in the pH range 6.54-8.54. Since pH = 8.10 is in that interval, this would be the optimal choice.

What are the general properties of the elements in the first two groups on the right side of the modern periodic table?
telo118 [61]
They have free electron(s) on their outermost energy levels making them good conductors.
They have metallic bonds in their chemical structure.
They readily lose the electrons on their outermost energy levels, to bond with non-metals in ionic bonds to form chemical compounds called "salts"

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

If you start with 10ml of 0.75 m cu(no3)2 how much cu (s) in grams should be recovered in step #7
LenaWriter [7]
<span>0.48 grams. Not a well worded question since it's assuming I know the reactions. But I'll assume that since there's just 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2, that the reaction will result in 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2 used. With that in mind, we will have 0.010 l * 0.75 mol/l = 0.0075 moles of copper produced. To convert the amount in moles, multiply by the atomic weight of copper, which is 63.546 g/mol. So 0.0075 mol * 63.546 g/mol = 0.476595 g. Round the results to 2 significant figures, giving 0.48 grams.</span>
