Answer:

(C) HClO, pKa = 7.54

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that can resist abrupt changes in pH when acids or bases are added. It is formed by two components:

  • A weak acid and its conjugate base.
  • A weak base and its conjugate acid.

In this case, acid and base are defined according to Bronsted-Löwry theory, which states that acids are substances that <em>release H⁺</em> and bases are substances that <em>accept H⁺. </em>Therefore, when an acid loses an H⁺ transforms into its conjugated base. For example, HF/F⁻ is a conjugate acid-base pair.

In buffers, when an acid is added, it reacts with the base to diminish its amount:

F⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ HF

Also in buffers, when a base is added, it reacts with the acid to diminish its amount:

HF + OH⁻ = F⁻ + H₂O

The optimum pH range of work of a buffer system (known as buffer range) is between 1 unit less and 1 unit more of pH than its pKa.

So, the buffer formed by HClO/ClO⁻ works optimally in the pH range 6.54-8.54. Since pH = 8.10 is in that interval, this would be the optimal choice.

Which isolated gaseous atom has a total of five electrons occupying spherically shaped orbitals?
Andre45 [30]
Let's find the electron configuration of each atom


Atom      atomic number                electron configuration

Bo            5                                    1s2 2s2 2p
F              9                                    1s2 2s2 2p5 
Na          11                                    1s2 s2 2p6 3s
K            19                                    1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s      


The spherically shaped orbitals are the s orbitals.



You can se in the table that I wrote above that sodium has 2 electrons at 1s, 2 electrons at 2s and 1 electron at 3s orbitals, that is a total of five electrons at s (spherically shaped orbtials).



So the answer is the option A) sodium.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.11 mol

Explanation:

<em>This is the chemical formula for acetic acid (the chemical that gives the sharp taste to vinegar): CH₃CO₂H. An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 0.054 moles of oxygen in a sample of acetic acid. How many moles of hydrogen are in the sample?</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Formula of acetic acid: CH₃CO₂H
  • Moles of oxygen in the sample of acetic acid: 0.054 moles

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the chemical formula of acetic acid, the molar ratio of H to O is 4:2.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of atoms of hydrogen

We will use the theoretical molar ratio for acetic acid.

0.054 mol O × (4 mol H/2 mol O) = 0.11 mol H

What role do the coefficients serve in a chemical reaction?
dem82 [27]
First one. Coefficients are numbers that balance the equation, just like if there is an equation in math where 1=2, you need to multiply 1 by 2 to make that equation true. That's a nice jingle you can remember.

2. If 2.50g of sodium hydroxide is being reacted with 4.30g of magnesium chloride, how many grams of magnesium hydroxide would b
Virty [35]

Answer:

1.822 g of magnesium hydroxide would be produced.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: 2NaOH+MgCl_{2}\rightarrow Mg(OH)_{2}+2NaCl

     Compound                                 Molar mass (g/mol)

         NaOH                                           39.997

         MgCl_{2}                                           95.211

        Mg(OH)_{2}                                        58.3197

So, 2.50 g of NaOH = \frac{2.50}{39.997} mol of NaOH = 0.0625 mol of NaOH

      4.30 g of MgCl_{2}  = \frac{4.30}{95.211} mol of MgCl_{2} = 0.0452 mol of MgCl_{2}

According to balanced equation-

2 mol of NaOH produce 1 mol of Mg(OH)_{2}    

So, 0.0625 mol of NaOH produce (\frac{0.0625}{2}) mol of NaOH or 0.03125 mol of NaOH

1 mol of MgCl_{2} produces 1 mol of Mg(OH)_{2}

So, 0.0452 mol of MgCl_{2} produce 0.0452 mol of Mg(OH)_{2}

As least number of moles of Mg(OH)_{2} are produced from NaOH therefore NaOH is the limiting reagent.

So, amount of Mg(OH)_{2} would be produced = 0.03125 mol

                                                                           = (0.03125\times 58.3197) g

                                                                           = 1.822 g
