Answer:

0.034 M is the molarity of sodium acetate needed.

Explanation:

The pH of the buffer solution is calculated by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:  

pH = pK_a + \log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

Where:  

pK_a= Negative logarithm of the dissociation constant of a weak acid  

[Ac^-] = Concentration of the conjugate base  

[HA] = Concentration of the weak acid

According to the question:

HAc(aq)\rightleftharpoons Ac^-(aq)+H^+(aq)

The desired pH of the buffer solution = pH = 5.27

The pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

The molarity of acetic acid solution = [HAc] = 0.01 M

The molarity of acetate ion =[Ac^-] = ?

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:  

5.27= 4.74 + \log \frac{[Ac^-]}{[0.01 M]}

[Ac^-]=0.0339 M\approx 0.034M

Sodium acetate dissociates into sodium ions and acetate ions when dissolved in water.

NaAc(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+Ac^-(aq)\\

[Ac^-]=[Na^+]=[NaAc]= 0.034M

0.034 M is the molarity of sodium acetate needed.

It is likely the neutral atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons; while the negatively charged atom has 7 or more electrons.

The mass of an atom, commonly known as the atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons as electrons have a very low mass.

This means two atoms can have the same number of protons and neutrons, but a different number of electrons, which would make the atom be charged negatively or positively.

Based on this, if there are two atoms, each with 6 protons but one of these is negatively charged it is because the second atom has 1 or more extra.

Neutral atom:

  • This atom has 6 protons and an unknown number of neutrons located in the nucleus.
  • This atom has 6 electrons that orbit the nucleus.
  • The first energetic level will include 2 electrons while the second energetic level will include the 4 remaining electrons.

Negatively-charged atom:

  • This atom has 6 protons and an unknown number of neutrons located in the nucleus.
  • This atom has 7 or even more electrons that orbit the nucleus.
  • The first energetic level will include 2 electrons while the second energetic level will include up to 8 electrons.

2. Why is it important in gravimetric analysis to add an excess amount of precipitating ions to a solution containing an analyte
Wewaii [24]

It is important in gravimetric analysis to add an excess amount of precipitating ions to a solution containing an analyte because it helps to determine the mass of the analyte.

<h3>What is Gravimetric analysis?</h3>

This is a method which is used in the determination of the quantitative determination of the ion being analyzed(analyte) based on its mass.

Adding an excess amount of precipitating ions to a solution containing an analyte will make it easier for the mass of an analyte to be determined.

It is also important for the precipitate to be a pure substance with a definite and known composition which therefore makes it the most appropriate reason.
