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

Chemistry

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.

What are the 5 types of matter?
sdas [7]

The five types of states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate.

Solid objects do not move a lot relative to themselves. Their molecules stay stacked neatly with no intermolecular spaces. They do not have much energy, or heat hence the molecules in solid state don't show movement.

Liquid state have more heat and more energy and a little more intermolecular space than solid. Their molecules are no longer stacked neatly due to presence of air capsules, but they still touch each other. Their structure is uncertain and can flow, their shape will alter quickly and dramatically with outside forces, but they will essentially remain a single mass unless pushed apart.

Gasses have even more energy than liquid and solid. Due to presence of high intermolecular spaces they flow like liquids, but are even more susceptible to the forces acting on them. Their molecules don’t touch each other, but are still close enough to bounce into one another frequently.

Plasma is the state of matter which is like a gas on steroids. Molecules of plasma might start in the same area, but rarely touch each other. Plasma molecules have lost electrons, and have become charged. Plasma molecules set other things on fire, and even vaporize them.

Bose-Einstein condensate or BEC was first created by scientists in the year 1995. This was created using a combination of lasers and magnets, Eric Cornell and Carl Weiman, scientists at the Joint Institute for Lab Astrophysics (JILA) in Boulder, Colorado, cooled a sample of rubidium to within a few degrees of absolute zero.

Which of the following does not change the energy of the reactants relative to the activation energy?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Adding a catalyst

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
  • A Catalyst is a material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy. In other words, a catalyst act to provide an alternative route for the reaction which has a lower activation energy.

Please help!! Balancing Nuclear Equations
sineoko [7]

The missing part of the equation is found to be 4/2He. Option A

<h3>What are nuclear equations?</h3>

The term nuclear equations have to do with the type of equation in which one type of nucleus is transformed into another sometimes by the bombardment or loss of a particle.

Now the full equation ought to be written as 7/3Li + 1/1H -----> 4/2He + 4/2He. This is because the total mass on the left is 8 and the total charge on the left is 4.
