Answer:
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>
a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.
b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.
c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.
d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.
e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.
f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.
Answer:
4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Explanation:
Equilibrium concentration of reactants :
![[CO]=0.0590 M,[H_2O]=0.00600 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCO%5D%3D0.0590%20M%2C%5BH_2O%5D%3D0.00600%20M)
Equilibrium concentration of products:
![[CO_2]=0.0410 M,[H_2]=0.0410 M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCO_2%5D%3D0.0410%20M%2C%5BH_2%5D%3D0.0410%20M)
The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :
![K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BCO_2%5D%5BH_2%5D%7D%7B%5BCO%5D%5BH_2O%5D%7D)
4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
