<span>1. What is the molar mass of gold?
Molar mass is a unit that expresses the mass of a molecule per one mol. The molar mass can be obtained by adding the neutron with the proton of the atoms. Gold has atomic number 79 so the proton is 79. The number of the neutron is 118. Then the molar mass would be: 79 + 118 = </span>197 g/mol<span>

</span><span>2. Calculate the number of moles of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work.
</span>In this question, you are given the mass of the gold and asked for how many moles the sample has. To find the number of moles you just need to divide the weight by the molar mass.
For 45.39 grams of gold, the number of moles would be:
45.39 / (197g/mol)= 0.23 moles

3. Calculate the number of atoms of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work.Moles is unit of a number of molecules but 1 mol doesn't represent 1 molecule. The number of atoms can be obtained by multiplying the number of moles with Avogadro number. The calculation would be:
0.23 moles * (6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mol)= 1.387 * 10^23 molecules

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady pH on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? Explain. Buffer 1: a

Talja [164]

Answer:

Buffer 1.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base. It acts like a Bronsted-Lowry Base when it reacts with hydrogen ions.

$\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq)$ .

$\rm NH_3$ gains one hydrogen ion to produce the ammonium ion $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ . In other words, $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ is the conjugate acid of the weak base $\rm NH_3$ .

Both buffer 1 and 2 include

the weak base ammonia $\rm NH_3$ , and
the conjugate acid of the weak base $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ .

The ammonia $\rm NH_3$ in the solution will react with hydrogen ions as they are added to the solution:

$\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq)$ .

There are more $\rm NH_3$ in the buffer 1 than in buffer 2. It will take more strong acid to react with the majority of $\rm NH_3$ in the solution. Conversely, the pH of buffer 1 will be more steady than that in buffer 2 when the same amount of acid has been added.

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which it is formed. a. cations are much small

koban [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.
