Calculate the pH of the buffer solution resulting from mixing 250 cm^3 of 0.3 moldm^-3 ethanoic acid with 250cm^3 of 0.2 moldm^-3 sodium hydroxide. The Ka of ethanoic acid is 1.8 x 10^-5.

As an acid is being added to a base, you first need to calculate what is left after they react. Without doing any calculations, we can already see that the acid is in excess as both solutions have the sam...

2NaNO3 --> 2NaNO2 + O2. When a sample of solid sodium nitrate was heated 96cm3 of gas was collected, calculate the mass of NaNO3 Decomposed

We know that the reaction is a 2:1 ratio as 2 moles of NaNO3 is used to form 1 mole of O2 so first we need to find the moles of the product produced
SoVolume of gas (dm3)= number of moles x 24dm3The...
