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.

How isa molecule of mercury different from a molocue of water
Genrish500 [490]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)

What type of grass is poisioness
ikadub [295]

Answer: Tall fescue can be harmful to grazing cattle and horses because the grass can become tough and infected with endophytes, causing poor grazing. Switchgrass and tall fescue are less likely to be poisonous to dogs, cats or humans than to horses or cattle, but eating either of them might cause stomach upset.
