Compare the pH change when 0.04 mol NaOH is added to water vs. when 0.04 mol NaOH is added to the buffer. Based on this, describe the benefit of a buffer.

Calculate the change in entropy if br2(l) is converted into gaseous br atoms. s° for br2(l) = 152.2 j/(mol•k) s° for br2(g) = 245.5 j/(mol•k) s° for br(g) = 175.0 j/(mol•k)

All of the following are part of the biosphere except

Which statements are true concerning mineral formation? check all that apply. the slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. the faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals. crystals formed from magma are smaller than crystals formed from lava. minerals can only form in solutions when the solution is heated deep underground. when a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.
