Answer:

An endothermic reaction is a reaction where heat is taken in from the surroundings. This could be in the process of vaporisation from liquid to gas. However an exothermic reaction is when heat is given out to the surroundings. An example of this would be condensation gas to liquid!

Which of the pairs below would be the best choice for a pH 5 buffer? HF/NaF, K a (HF) = 3.5 × 10-4 HC2H3O2/KC2H3O2, K a (HC2H3O2

Answer:

HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂

Explanation:

Considering the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the basic buffer solution as:

$
pH=pK_b+log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}
$

For a best pair, the pKa value must be equal to pH.

NH₃/NH₄Cl forms a basic buffer and cannot account for pH = 5

out of the acidic buffer given,

So, HF , Ka = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ , So pKa = 3.46

HC₂H₃O₂ , Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵ , So pKa = 4.77

The best pair to show pH = 5 is HC₂H₃O₂/KC₂H₃O₂

Considering that the mantle is 44.8% oxygen and 21.5% silicon by mass, calculate the mole ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms

horrorfan [7]

The mantle has a mass of around $4.278 X 10 ^2^4 kg$ that is around 68.4% of earth's mass.

So to calculate moles we need to first find out the mass of oxygen and silicon present in mantle. It is given that oxygen is 44.8% by mass in mantle and 21.5% by mass in mantle, therefore to calculate its mass, we need to use $\text{mass percentage }=\frac{\text{mole of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times100$

Now, to calculate mass percentage of oxygen

$44.8 =\frac{x}{4.278X10^2^4kg}\times100$

$x= 191.65\times10^2^2kg$

Similarly the mass of silicon can be calculated

$21.5 =\frac{x}{4.278X10^2^4kg}\times100$

$x=91.977\times10^2^2kg$

Now, the moles of any substance is calculated by

$\text{moles}= \frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

$\text{moles of oxygen}= \frac{191.65\times10^2^2kg}{2.6566962\times10^-^2^6kg}$

where, mass of oxygen in kilograms is $2.6566962\times10^-^2^6kg$

So, $\text{moles of oxygen}=72.1384\times10^4^8\text{moles of O}$

Similarly $\text{moles of silicon}= \frac{91.977\times10^2^2kg}{4.663\times10^-^2^6kg}$

$\text{moles of silicon}=19.724\times10^4^8\text{moles of Si}$

Now, to calculate mole ratio we need to divide every moles to the lowest calculated mole that is the moles of Si and round it off to the nearest whole number.

$\text{mole ratio of oxygen}= \frac{72.138\times10^4^8kg}{19.724\times10^4^8kg}$
