Classification systems are mental models that we create to make sorting things simpler and more efficient. We make compromises to emphasize certain details and hide others based on their perceived relevance to achieving the outcomes we seek. Even if the original model was nearly perfect, you should expect the inputs provided and outcomes desired to change as time goes by.

In time, we usually find that we have over-simplified by ignoring important details. Mental models such as classification systems should evolve over time. This enables them to more accurately reflect reality and lead to the outcomes we seek.

You can only find the details you seek by observing the right layer of abstraction.

A chemistry graduate student is given 125.mL of a 1.00M benzoic acid HC6H5CO2 solution. Benzoic acid is a weak acid with =Ka×6.3

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

53.9 g

Explanation:

When talking about buffers is very common the problem involves the use of the Henderson Hasselbach formula:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]

where [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base of the weak acid HA, and [HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.

We can calculate pKₐ from the given kₐ ( pKₐ = - log Kₐ ), and from there obtain the ratio [A⁻]/HA].

Since we know the concentration of HC6H5CO2 and the volume of solution, the moles and mass of KC6H5CO2 can be determined.

So,

4.63 = - log ( 6.3 x 10⁻⁵ ) + log [A⁻]/[HA] = - (-4.20 ) + log [A⁻]/[HA]

⇒ log [A⁻]/[HA] = 4.63 - 4.20 = log [A⁻]/[HA]

0.43 = log [A⁻]/[HA]

taking antilogs to both sides of this equation:

10^0.43 = [A⁻]/[HA] = 2.69

[A⁻]/ 1.00 M = 2.69 ⇒ [A⁻] = 2.69 M

Molarity is moles per liter of solution, so we can calculate how many moles of C6H5CO2⁻ the student needs to dissolve in 125. mL ( 0.125 L ) of a 2.69 M solution:

( 2.69 mol C6H5CO2⁻ / 1L ) x 0.125 L = 0.34 mol C6H5CO2⁻

The mass will be obtained by multiplying 0.34 mol times molecular weight for KC6H5CO2 ( 160.21 g/mol ):

0.34 mol x 160.21 g/mol = 53.9 g

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons make up an atom of Nitrogen-15?

earnstyle [38]

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

A nonpartisan iota of Nitrogen has a mass of 18. There are 7 protons in the core of this iota. What number of neutrons, complete electrons, and valence electrons are available

Nitrogen 15 has a nuclear mass of 15. The mass number is # protons in addition to # of neutrons, so for N-15 mass is 15 and the protons are dependably 7 so there must be 15-7=8 neutrons. N-15 has 7 electrons since it has 7 protons and p = e.

The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 x 10 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Age of the atifact is $4.2\times 10^{2}$ years

Explanation:

For first -order radioactive decay- $A_{t}=A_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$
$A_{t}$ represents activity of radioactive nuclide after t time, $A_{0}$ represents initial activity of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ represents half-life
Here, $A_{t}=19Bq$ , $A_{0}=20Bq$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=5.73\times 10^{3}years$
