Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer so
1 answer:
Answer:
NH₃/NH₄Cl
Explanation:
We can calculate the pH of a buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.
If the concentration of the acid is equal to that of the base, the pH will be equal to the pKa of the buffer. The optimum range of work of pH is pKa ± 1.
Let's consider the following buffers and their pKa.
- CH₃COONa/CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74)
- NH₃/NH₄Cl (pKa = 9.25)
- NaOCl/HOCl (pKa = 7.49)
- NaNO₂/HNO₂ (pKa = 3.35)
- NaCl/HCl Not a buffer
The optimum buffer is NH₃/NH₄Cl.

Answer:
The mass of the solute and the volume of the solution.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the formula of molarity:
In such a way, since the moles could not be directly measured, we must measure the mass of the solute and by using its molar mass, one could compute its moles. Moreover, since the solution is composed by the solvent (typically water) and the solute, we consequently must measure the volume of the solution needed for the preparation of such concentration-known solution. In such a way, we can actually prepare the required solution.
Best regards.
Answer:
The equation for the rate of this reaction is R = [NO] + {O2}
Explanation:
The rate-determining step of a reaction is the slowest step of a chemical reaction which determines the rate (speed) at which the overall reaction would take place.
Reaction mechanism:
The slow and fast reactions both have NO3 which is cancelled out on both sides, in order to get the overall reaction.
The rate law for this reaction would be that for the rate determining step:
R = [NO] + {O2}
