What substance would you add to nahco3(aq) to form a buffer solution?

Chemistry

Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

Answer is: H₂CO₃.

This buffer is example of weak acid (H₂CO₃) and its conjugate base (HCO₃⁻).

Dissociation of carbonic acid: H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Adding acid: HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.  

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.

Buffer solution is made by mixing a weak acid with its conjugate base or weak base with its conjugate acid. NaHCO₃(aq) is a conjugate salt and also a conjugate base of H₂CO₃(aq) acid. Hence H₂CO₃(aq) should be added to make the buffer solution.

The oxidation # (charge) of an element called "lindenium "Ld is + 1 and the oxidation # (charge) of an element called "mendezine
butalik [34]

Answer:

Ld₂Mz

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Compounds</u>

  • Valence shells
  • Writing chemical compounds
  • Balancing charges

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

"Lindenium" Ld w/ oxidation charge of +1

"Mendezine" Mz w/ oxidation charge of -2

<u>Step 2: Write Compound</u>

To balance out the charges to be neutral (0), we must counter balance the amount of Ld's with Mz's. We need 2 Ld's with 1 Mz to create a compound with a neutral charge:

2Ld¹⁺ + Mz²⁻

2(+1) + (-2) = (+2) + (-2) = 0 (neutral charge)

Therefore, our compound must be Ld₂Mz.

If light with a wavelength of 515 nm is shown on a metal surface, and photoelectrons (electrons ejected from the surface) have a
Debora [2.8K]

The binding energy of the electrons (also known as the work function of the surface) is determined as 2.43 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

<h3>Binding energy of the electrons</h3>

The binding energy of the electrons is also known as work function of the metal and it is calculated as follows;

Ф = E - K.E

where;

Ф = hf - 86.2 kJ/mol

Ф = hc/λ - 86.2 kJ/mol

Ф = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ )/515 x 10⁻⁹   -  86.2 kJ/mol

Ф = 3.86 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - (86200 J/mol)/(6.02 x 10²³)

Ф = 3.86 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 1.43  x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ф = 2.43 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The chemical equation below shows the decomposition of nitrogen triiodide (NI3) into nitrogen (N2) and iodine (I2).
Travka [436]
2 NI₃= N₂ + 3 I₂

2 x 394.71 g --------------- 3 x 253.80 g
3.58 g ---------------------- ( mass  of I₂ )

3.58 x 3 x 253.80 / 2 x 394.71 =

2725.812 / 789.42 => 3.4529 g of I₂

1 mole I₂ --------------- 253.80 g
?? ----------------------- 3.4529 g

3.4529 x 1 / 253.80 => 0.0136 moles of I₂

Answer C
