For this buffered solution with a pH of 7.5, B. The pH would become less than 7.0.

In Science, pH literally means the power of hydrogen ions and it can be defined as a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution. Thus, it is typically used to specify the acidity, neutrality or basicity of any chemical solution.

On a pH scale, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral while a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic and it's basic (alkaline) when its pH is above 7.

In this scenario, a buffered solution with a pH of 7.5 would become less than 7.0 when a small amount of acid is added to it.

How many are molecules ( or formula) in each sample?

andre [41]

Answer:

$4.010 \times 10^{25} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

Explanation:

Number of molecules for $55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}:$

Atomic mass of Na + H + C + 3(O) = 22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 3 × 16.00 = 84.00 g/mol

$\text { Number of molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { in } 55.93 \text { kg are as follows: }$

$55.93 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}}{84.00 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number }\right)$

$=4.010 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

Number of molecules for for $\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

= Atomic mass of 3(Na) + P + 4(O)

= 3(22.99) + 30.97 + 4(16.00) = 163.94 g/mol

$459 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} N a_{3} P O_{4}}{163.94 \mathrm{gm} N a_{3} P O_{4}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number) } / 1 \mathrm{mol}\right.$

$=16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

liam uses a machine that counts waves on a metal cable. The machine counts 25 waves in 2 seconds. what is the frequency of the w

Softa [21]

Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz

What happens to the air in the colloid when ice cream melts

Contact [7]

The colloid formed by ice cream remains stable only at cold temperatures. When ice cream is warmed above freezing, its dispersed particles absorb energy and begin to move faster. When the fast-moving particles collide, they sometimes stick together.
