Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
HA <=>
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (
)
When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (
) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
Answer:
Resistance
Explanation:
Resistance is the measure of the opposition of current in a circuit.
Problem One
You will use both m * c * deltaT and H = m * heat of fusion.
Givens
m = 12.4 grams
c = 0.1291
t1 = 26oC
t2 = 1204
heat of fusion (H_f) = 63.5 J/grams.
Equation
H = m * c * deltaT + m * H_f
Solution
H = 12.4 * 0.1291 * (1063 - 26) + 12.4 * 63.5
H = 1660.1 + 787.4
H = 2447.5 or 2447.47 is the exact answer. I have to leave the rounding to you. I have no idea where to round it although I suspect 2450 would be right for 3 sig digs.
Problem Two
Formula and Givens
t1 = 14.5
t2 = 50.0
E = 5680
c = 4.186
m = ??
E = m c * deltaT
Solution
5680 = m * 4.186 * (50 - 14.5)
5680 = m * 4.186 * (35.5)
5680 = m * 148.603 * m
m = 5680 / 148.603
m = 38.22 grams That isn't very much. Be very sure you are working in joules. You'd leave that many grams in the kettle after drying it thoroughly.
m = 38.2 to 3 sig digs.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
Answer:
3853 g
Step-by-step explanation:
M_r: 107.87
16Ag + S₈ ⟶ 8Ag₂S; ΔH°f = -31.8 kJ·mol⁻¹
1. Calculate the moles of Ag₂S
Moles of Ag₂S = 567.9 kJ × 1 mol Ag₂S/31.8kJ = 17.858 mol Ag₂S
2. Calculate the moles of Ag
Moles of Ag = 17.86 mol Ag₂S × (16 mol Ag/8 mol Ag₂S) = 35.717 mol Ag
3. Calculate the mass of Ag
Mass of g = 35.717 mol Ag × (107.87 g Ag/1 mol Ag) = 3853 g Ag
You must react 3853 g of Ag to produce 567.9 kJ of heat
