Answer:
a. 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 100.0 mL of 0.15 M NH₄Cl.
c. 50.0 mL of 0.15 M HF with 20.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH.
Explanation:
A buffer system is formed in 1 of 2 ways:
- A weak acid and its conjugate base.
- A weak base and its conjugate acid.
Determine whether mixing each pair of the following results in a buffer.
a. 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 100.0 mL of 0.15 M NH₄Cl.
YES. NH₃ is a weak base and NH₄⁺ (from NH₄Cl ) is its conjugate base.
b. 50.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl with 35.0 mL of 0.150 M NaOH.
NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.
c. 50.0 mL of 0.15 M HF with 20.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH.
YES. HF is a weak acid and it reacts with NaOH to form NaF, which contains F⁻ (its conjugate base).
d. 175.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 150.0 mL of 0.12 M NaOH.
NO. Both are bases.
Answer:
The atomic numbers of both are 54 while the mass numbers are 131 and 133 respectively.
Explanation:
- The number of protons = Atomic number. So, if the atom has 54 protons and it remained unchanged, then the two types of atoms of this element both have atomic numbers of 54.
- On the other hand, mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons
So, if type 1 has protons = 54 and neutrons = 77: mass number = 54 + 77 = 131
if Type 2 has protons = 54 and neutrons = 79: mass number = 54 + 77 = 133
(Since the possibility of atoms of the same element to have different mass numbers but the same atomic number is called isotopy). The two types of atoms with mass numbers 131 and 133 described are isotopes.
<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.
Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.
The chemical equation for the reaction of iron and copper (II) sulfate is given as:
Ionic form of the above equation follows:
As, sulfate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.
The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:
Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.
Answer:
The process of photosynthesis in plants releases oxygen into the atmosphere. Respiration by plants and animals, as they use the energy stored in food, and the process of decomposition of dead organisms, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All three work together to maintain the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle.
Thats just a thought though.
