(Use this to answer Qs 24-29.) Bill Nye the Science Guy is at it again and wants to show the chemistry students how a buffer works. He creates a buffer by mixing 50.0 mL of 0.450 M HF and 50.0 mL of 0.450 MF. Just like the titration experiment, he has no idea how it works. Because of your generous nature, you decide to help him with the following questions. 24) To make a buffer, what needs to be mixed together? a) A weak acid with its conjugate base or a weak base with its conjugate acid b) A strong acid and a strong base c) A strong acid and a weak base d) A strong base and a weak acid
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![27) What is this buffer's approximate pH range in which it is still effective?
а.
4.32-6.32
b. 4.21-6.21
c. 4.43-6.43
d. Any pH below 7
28) If I want a solution that stays around a pH of 5.0, was this a good acid to use? Provide proof.
a. Yes because a pH of 5.0 is acidic and this buffer is comprised of a weak acid with its conjugate
base.
b. Yes because a pH of 5.0 is within the pH range of the buffer's efficiency.
c. No because this buffer is made using a weak acid so it would be more effective in a solution
with a basic pH.
d. No because a pH of 5.0 is lower than the pKa of the weak acid.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F19b68726-57e5-4412-bc52-781c8e01910e%2F922c3065-c1c5-48e1-a13a-3a4f9d9d73c9%2Fm9jbj5_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
