Answer:

pH = 3.3

Explanation:

Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.

In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].

Solution using the I.C.E. table:

              HNO₂ ⇄    H⁺   +   KNO₂⁻

C(i)        0.55M       0M      0.75M

ΔC            -x            +x          +x

C(eq)  0.55M - x       x     0.75M + x    b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be                                    

                                                             dropped giving ...

           ≅0.55M        x       ≅0.75M        

Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]

=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3

Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]

= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]

= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3

Three isotopes of sulfur are sulfur-32, sulfur-33, and sulfur-34. write the complete symbol for each isotope, including the atom
Maurinko [17]
Sulfur is an element in the periodic table that has a chemical symbol of S. This element is the 16th element in periodic table. This means that the atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to 16.

The number following the name of the element is the mass number. The following are the complete symbol that are arranged as follows:
 chemical symbol - atomic number - mass number

*Sulfur-32
         S - 16 - 32

*Sulfur-33
        S - 16 - 33

*Sulfur-34
        S - 16 - 34

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option C is false statement. The half life of a second order reaction is not dependent on concentration.

Explanation:

Half life of a reaction is defined as the amount of time which is required for a reactant concentration reduced by half comparison to its initial concentration.

Half life of a second order reaction is depend on the initial concentration of a reaction, in contrast to 1st order reaction.

Nataly [62]

The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ?</h3>

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

Element   %   Atomic mass   Relative no. of atoms  Simplest whole ratio

C            83.87       12                     \frac{83.87}{12} = 6.98                   \frac{6.98}{0.25} = 3

H            11.99         1                       \frac{11.99}{1} = 11.09                  \frac{11.09}{0.25} = 4

O            4.14          16                      \frac{4.14}{16} = 0.25                    \frac{0.25}{0.25} = 1

Thus the empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁.

<h3>How to find the Molecular formula of compound ?</h3>

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

n = \frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}

  = \frac{386.64}{56}

  = 7

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

                               = 7 (C₃H₄O₁)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).
