A beaker with 135 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 5.70 mL of a 0.490 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change

pH = 4.64

Explanation:

To find the pH of a buffer solution we need to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

We have:

pKa = 4.76

pH_{i} = 5.00

[CH₃COOH] + [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.100 M

V = 135 mL = 0.135 L  

To find the pH after the student adds the solution of HCl, first, we need to find the concentrations of the acetic acid and acetate (conjugate base). To do that we will calculate the number of moles before and after the addition of HCl solution.  

Before the addition of the HCl solution we have:

   (1)

Also we have that the total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M:

  (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) for [CH₃COOH] and [CH₃COO⁻], we have:

[CH₃COOH] = 0.036 M

[CH₃COO⁻] = 0.064 M

Now, the number of moles of the acid and conjugate base is:  

After the addition of HCl solution we have:

The HCl added will react with the conjugate base of the acetic acid:

            H₃O⁺   +    CH₃COO⁻     ⇄     CH₃COOH   +    H₂O      

2.79x10⁻³moles   8.64x10⁻³moles                                  

From the reaction of HCl with CH₃COO⁻ we have:

Finally, we can find the pH of the solution after the addition of HCl:

I hope it helps you!  

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.  

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
