<u>Answer:</u> The reaction proceeds in the backward direction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A buffer is a solution that maintains the pH of the solution and resists any significant changes of pH on the addition of acid or alkali.

A buffer solution of NH_4Cl\text{ and }NH_3 is prepared. It is a basic buffer as it is formed by the combination of a weak base (NH_3) and its conjugate acid (NH_4Cl)

When a strong base (NaOH) is added to this buffer solution, the ammonium ions releases hydrogen ion to the solution which then combines with the hydroxide ions to form water and ammonia in a solution. Thus, maintaining the pH of the buffer.

The given chemical equation follows:

NH_3(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_4^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Hence, the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.

What contribution did these scientists make to atomic models of the atom?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Bohr was the first to discover that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

In the following reaction, which substance is the precipitate? (NH4)2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq
mariarad [96]
Assuming that the reactants are:

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)

and the products are:

BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq),

then you will have to determine which product is insoluble. You should have access to solubility rules to help you determine this.

According to the solubility rules, the following elements are considered insoluble when paired with SO4:

Sr^2+, Ba^2+, Pb^2+, Ag^2+, and Ca^2+

Therefore, the precipitate will be BaSO4 (s).
