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!

Featured snippet from the web
The atoms in ceramic materials are held together by a chemical bond. The two most common chemical bonds for ceramic materials are covalent and ionic. For metals, the chemical bond is called the metallic bond. The bonding of atoms together is much stronger in covalent and ionic bonding than in metallic.

Write equations that show the processes that describe the first, second, and third ionization energies for a gaseous iron atom.
Nikolay [14]
The ionization energy of an element is the amount of energy required to remove one mole of electrons from the element in its gaseous state. The equations for the first three are:

Fe(g) → Fe⁺(g) + e⁻

Fe⁺(g) → Fe⁺²(g) + e⁻

Fe⁺²(g) → Fe⁺³(g) + e

In a fixed cylinder are 3moles of oxygen gas at 300Kelvin and 1.25atm. What is the volume of the container?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The volume of the container is 59.112 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of moles of Oxygen, n = 3

Temperature of the gas, T = 300 K

Pressure of the gas, P = 1.25 atm

We need to find the volume of the container. For a gas, we know that,

PV = nRT

V is volume

R is gas constant, R =  0.0821 atm-L/mol-K

So,

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{3\ mol\times 0.0821\ L-atm/mol-K \times 300\ K}{1.25\ atm}\\\\V=59.112\ L

So, the volume of the container is 59.112 L
