In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

A gas mixture at 0°C and 1.0atm contains 0.010mol of H2, 0.015mol of O2, and 0.025mol of N2. Assuming ideal behavior, what is th
Olegator [25]

Answer:

PH₂ = 0.2 atm

C) About 0.20atm, because H2 comprises 20% of the total number of moles of gas.

Explanation:

To determine the partial pressure of hydrogen gas (H2) in the mixture,

Partial pressure H₂ = Ptotal * xH₂

xH₂ = Mole fraction of H₂ = ∩H₂ / ( ∩H₂ + ∩O₂ + ∩N₂)

xH₂ = 0.01 / (0.01 + 0.015 + 0.025)

xH₂ = 0.01/0.05

xH₂ = 0.2

therefore

PH₂ = pT * xH₂

PH₂ = 1.0 atm * 0.2

PH₂ = 0.2 atm

so the correct option is C)  About 0.20atm, because H2 comprises 20% of the total number of moles of gas.

The activation energy for the reaction NO2(g)+CO(g)⟶NO(g)+CO2(g) is Ea = 375 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the reaction
HACTEHA [7]
Answer: 625 kj/mol

Explanation:

As shown below this expression gives the activation energy of the reverse reaction:

EA reverse reaction = EA forward reaction + | enthalpy change |

1) The activation energy, EA is the difference between the potential energies of the reactants and the transition state:

EA = energy of the transition state - energy of the reactants.

2) The activation energy of the forward reaction given is:

EA = energy of the transition state - energy of  [ NO2(g) + CO(g) ] = 75 kj/mol

3) The negative enthalpy change - 250 kj / mol for the forward reaction means that the products are below in the potential energy diagram, and that the potential energy of the products, [NO(g) + CO2(g) ] is equal to 375 kj / mol - 250 kj / mol = 125 kj/mol

4) For the reverse reaction the reactants are [NO(g) + CO2(g)], and the transition state is the same than that for the forward reaction.

5) The difference of energy between the transition state and the potential energy of [NO(g) + CO2(g) ] will be the absolute value of the change of enthalpy plus the activation energy for the forward reaction:

EA reverse reaction = EA forward reaction + | enthalpy change |

EA reverse reaction = 375 kj / mol + |-250 kj/mol | = 375 kj/mol + 250 kj/mol = 625 kj/mol.

And that is the answer, 625 kj/mol

Determine the number of moles in 4.21 x 10^23 molecules of CaCl2
Paha777 [63]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.699 mole CaCl₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To get the number of moles we use the Avogadro's number.

Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10^23.

But, 1 mole of a compound contains  6.022 x 10^23 molecules

In this case;

we are given 4.21 × 10^23 molecules of CaCl₂

Therefore, to get the number of moles

Moles = Number of molecules ÷ Avogadro's constant

          = 4.21 × 10^23 molecules ÷  6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole

          = 0.699 mole CaCl₂

Hence, the number of moles is 0.699 mole of CaCl₂

When diluting the pickle juice food sample for titration, is it important to know the final volume exactly? Why or why not?
maks197457 [2]

Explanation:

When diluting a fruit juice, it is important to know the final volume so as not to over dilute the solution.

  • The fruit juice can become too diluted if we don't know the final volume .
  • Concentration refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent.
  • To achieve a desired amount of concentration during dilution, the volume of the target must be known.
  • This will serve as a guide of the amount of solvent to add in order to take the solution to the desired volume.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

indicator

Explanation:

Indicators are the weak organic dyes which shows different colors in acidic and basic mediums.

Due to the fact that a noticeable pH change occurs near the equivalence point of acid-base titrations, an indicator can be used to signal the end point of a titration.

Therefore, choosing the proper indicator, scientists can minimize the difference in these two numbers, allowing more accurate measurements in the lab.
