Answer:

[base]=0.28M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\

[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M

Regards.

The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (C3H8) to
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

At the burner temp. and pressure, 18.85 litres of air is needed to completely combust each gram of propane

Explanation:

The combustion stoichiometry is as follows:

      C₃H₈ + 5O₂  = 4 H₂O + 3CO₂      The molecular weights (g/mol) are:

MW  44    5x32      4x18    3x44

So each gram of propane is 1/44 = 0.02272 mol propane

and will need 5 x 0.02272 = 0.1136 mol oxygen

At 0.21 mol fraction oxygen in air, 0.1136 / 0.21 = 0.54 mol air is needed to burn the propane.

At the low pressure in the burner we can use the Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRT, or V = nRT/P

P = 1.1 x 101325 Pa = 111457 Pa

T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K

R = 8.314

and we calculated n = number of moles air = 0.54 mol

So V m³ = 0.54 x 8.314 x 468 / 111457 = 0.0188 m³ = 18.85 litres air.

Drupady [299]
<span>It is the valence orbit that controls the electrical properties of the atom. The valence electron is referred to as a "free electron.' Valence electrons have the highest energy of all electrons in an atom; they are also the most reactive, meaning they are usually the electrons involved in bonding. When silicon atoms combine to form a solid, they arrange themselves into an orderly pattern called a crystal.</span>

High tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.
