Answer:

PbCO₃ + 2HNO₃ –> Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Explanation:

From the question given above:

Solid lead (II) carbonate reacts with a dilute solution of nitric acid (HNO₃) to give a solution of lead (II) nitrate,

carbon dioxide and water.

The above can be represented in the equation form as follow:

PbCO₃ + HNO₃ –> Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Finally, we shall balance the equation as follow:

PbCO₃ + HNO₃ –> Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

There are 2 atoms of H on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HNO₃ as shown below:

PbCO₃ + 2HNO₃ –> Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced.

Why does acetic acid lose its buffering ability at very high pH values? Why does acetic acid lose its buffering ability at very

salantis [7]

Answer:

Because the optimal range of buffering for a formic acid potassium formate buffer is 2.74 ≤ pH ≤ 4.74.

Explanation:

Every buffer solution has an optimal effective range due to pH = pKa ± 1. Outside this range, there is not enough acid molecules or conjugate base molecules to sustain the pH without variation. There is a certain amount of both molecules that has to be in the solution to maintain a pH controlled.

Being for the formic acid the pKa 3.74, the optimal effective range is between 2.74 and 4.74. Upper or lower these range a formic acid/potassium formate buffer does not work.

How will you increase the solubility of a gases in a liquid solvent?

Stells [14]

Answer:

increase the temperature

Explanation:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid will increase if: Lower the temperature of the solution , and therefore, lower the kinetic energy of the gaseous particles so they can escape the liquid phase less often.

It's red because of rusty iron in the ground. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather. It has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon. There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but now water mostly exists in icy dirt and thin clouds.
