A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe

n strong acids or strong bases are added, buffers either accept protons when they are in excess or donate protons when they have been depleted to minimize changes in pH. Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer? Select one or more: a. The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. c. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. d. The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. e. An alkaline buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. f. An alkaline buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

Answer:

b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution

d.The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resist pH change, it shows minimal change upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base. An alkaline buffer will have a  basic pH, above 7. It is made by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. An example of an alkaline buffer is carbonate-bicarbonate buffer that is prepared using varying amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate and volume of solution of sodium bicarbonate to get pH range between 9.2 to 10.7

Within the buffer,the salt is completely ionized while the weak base is partly ionized. on addition of acid, the released protons will be removed by the bicarbonate ion to form sodium carbonate; on addition of base, the hydroxide ion released by the base will be removed by the hydrogen ions to form water and the pH remains relatively the same

In a chemistry lab, you have two vinegars. one is 5% acetic acid, and one is 6.5% acetic acid. you want to make 200 ml of a vine
nexus9112 [7]
Assume that the amount needed from the 5% acid is x and that the amount needed from the 6.5% acid is y.

We are given that:
The volume of the final solution is 200 ml
This means that:
x + y = 200
This can be rewritten as:
x = 200 - y .......> equation I

We are also given that:
The concentration of the final solution is 6%
This means that:
5%x + 6.5%y = 6% (x+y)
This can be rewritten as:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y) ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
0.05 x + 0.065 y = 0.06 (x+y)
0.05 (200-y) + 0.065 y = 0.06 (200-y+y)
10 - 0.05 y + 0.065 y = 12
0.015y = 12-10 = 2
y = 2/0.015
y = 133.3334 ml

Substitute with the y in equation I to get the x as follows:
x = 200 - y
x = 200 - 133.3334
x = 66.6667 ml

Based on the above calculations:
The amount required from the 5% acid = x = 66.6667 ml
The amount required from the 6.5% acid = y = 133.3334 ml

Hope this helps :)

If 25 g of NH3, and 96 g of H2S react according to the following reaction, what is the
jeyben [28]

25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​

<u>Explanation:</u>

2 NH₃ + H₂S ----> (NH₄)₂S​

Molecular weight of NH₃ = 17 g/mol

Molecular weight of (NH₄)₂S​ = 68 g/mol

According to the balanced reaction:

2 X 17 g of NH₃ produces 68 g of (NH₄)₂S​

1 g of NH₃ will produce \frac{68}{34} g of (NH₄)₂S​

25g of NH₃ will produce \frac{65}{34} X 25 g of (NH₄)₂S​

                                     = 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​

Therefore, 25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​

A student wants to prepare a 1.0-liter solution of a specific Molarity. The student determines that the mass of the solute needs
Mars2501 [29]
The answer is (4) Add enough solvent to 30.0 g of solute to make 1.0 L solution. The molarity is calculated using volume of the solution. When solute dissolving, the total volume will change. So the final volume of solution need to be 1.0 L.

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for  CO_2 has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the CO_2  we will have a structure:  O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.

2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>

<u></u>

Again in the structure of CO_2: O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

(See figures)
