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.

Answer:

Global warming causes sea-level rise as oceans expand, and makes storm patterns more energetic. Consequently it will affect most of the world's coastlines through inundation and increased erosion.

A warming climate can cause seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level. Storm surge on a Louisiana highway shows the effects of rising sea levels. Many people are interested in climate change and how a changing climate will affect the ocean.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
vlabodo [156]

A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.

The other options are <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.
