Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 43P
8-55 We commonly refer to a buffer as consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base—for example, CH3COOH and CH3COO-. Is it also possible to have a buffer consisting of approximately equal molar amounts of a weak base and its conjugate acid? Explain.

Most ceramic materials have low thermal conductivities because:(a) Electron mobility is strongly restricted due to their strong ionic-covalent bonding.(b) False, in general they are excellent thermal conductors (they are used in ovens).(c) Electron mobility is dependent on T and therefore they are poor conductors at high temperatures.(d) Electron mobility is very restricted by secondary bonds.
Resistivity and electrical conductivity.(a) In metals, resistivity decreases.(b) In metals, resistivity decreases and conductivity in semiconductors also decreases with increasing temperature.(c) With increasing temperature, resistivity in metals and conductivity in semiconductors also increases.(d) None of the above.
