Answer:

[base]=0.28M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\

[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M

Regards.

Explanation:

In liquids, the attractive intermolecular forces are <u>strong enough to hold molecules relatively close together but not strong enough to keep molecules from moving past each other</u>.

Intermolecular forces are the forces of repulsion or attraction.

Intermolecular forces lie between atoms, molecules, or ions. Intramolecular forces are strong in comparison to these forces.

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed
kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4

What are the atomic number and mass number of this atom
lina2011 [118]
No diagram is given therefore I cannot answer however, use this for reference.
The atomic mass of an atom would be the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons. Because this atom shown has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, they add up to 12. In this case, the atomic mass of this atom is 12. Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, in this case it is 6. The atomic number is 6.
