Hello!

The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:

Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:

CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻

This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.

Have a nice day!

Suppose you perform a calorimeter experiment to determine the molar heat of neutralization of an unknown acid, H A HA, with sodi
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

-86.02 kJ/ mole

Explanation:

The moles of the acid used = Molarity × Volume (L) =

= 0.50 (0.0372 L)

= 0.0186 moles

The heat released = -1.6 kJ

∴ 0.0186 moles neutralization of HA heat is: -1.6 kJ

The molar heat of neutralization due to one mole of the unknown acid = -1.6/0.0186

= -86.02 kJ/ mole

Janine is trying to separate some ethanol from water. Which method should she use does anyone know this
GuDViN [60]

To separate some ethanol from water, Jane needs to use the method of simple distillation.

Simple distillation is a separation method in which two liquids can be separated from each other based on differences in boiling point.

Since water has a higher boiling point than ethanol, ethanol is collected first as the distillation proceeds.

How many moles of gas occupy 98 L at a pressure of 2.8 atmosphere and a temperature of 292 K
OLga [1]
Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT

Where, <span>
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)<span>
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
<span>
The given data for the </span></span>gas is,<span>
P = 2.8 atm = 283710 Pa
V = 98 L = 98 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
T = 292 K
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
n = ?

By applying the formula,
283710 Pa x </span>98 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 292 K
<span>                                       n = 11.45 mol

Hence, moles of gas is </span>11.45 mol.

An action potential arriving at the presynaptic terminal causes what to occur? multiple choice voltage-gated calcium ion channel
Mazyrski [523]
The answer to this question would be: calcium ions to diffuse into the cell.

The presynaptic neuron would need to release neurotransmitter to the postsynaptic neuron. To do this, the action potential will cause calcium ion diffuse into the cell causing the vesicle with the neurotransmitter to migrate to the cell membrane and release its content.
