What is the effect on the concentration of acetic acid, hydronium ion, and acetate ion when the following are added to an acidic buffer solution of equal concentrations of acetic acid and sodium acetate:

(a) HCl

(b) KCH 3 CO 2

(c) NaCl

(d) KOH

(e) CH 3 CO 2 H

(a) The added HCl will increase the concentration of H 3 O + slightly, which will react with CH 3 CO 2 and produce CH 3 CO 2 H in the process. Thus, [ CH 3 CO 2 ] decreases and [CH 3 CO 2 H] increases.
(b) The added KCH 3 CO 2 will increase the concentration of [ CH 3 CO 2 ] which will react with H 3 O + and produce CH 3 CO 2 H in the process. Thus, [H 3 O + ] decreases slightly and [CH 3 CO 2 H] increases.
(c) The added NaCl will have no effect on the concentration of the ions.
(d) The added KOH will produce OH ions, which will react with the H 3 O + , thus reducing [H 3 O + ]. Some additional CH 3 CO 2 H will dissociate, producing [ CH 3 CO 2 ] ions in the process. Thus, [CH 3 CO 2 H] decreases slightly and [ CH 3 CO 2 ] increases.
(e) The added CH 3 CO 2 H will increase its concentration, causing more of it to dissociate and producing more [ CH 3 CO 2 ] and H 3 O + in the process. Thus, [H 3 O + ] increases slightly and [ CH 3 CO 2 ] increases.

Which acid in [link] is most appropriate for preparation of a buffer solution with a pH of 3.1? Explain your choice.

To prepare the best buffer for a weak acid HA and its salt, the ratio [ H 3 O + ] K a should be as close to 1 as possible for effective buffer action. The [H 3 O + ] concentration in a buffer of pH 3.1 is [H 3 O + ] = 10 −3.1 = 7.94 × 10 −4 M
We can now solve for K a of the best acid as follows:
[ H 3 O + ] K a = 1 K a = [ H 3 O + ] 1 = 7.94 × 10 −4
In [link] , the acid with the closest K a to 7.94 × 10 −4 is HF, with a K a of 7.2 × 10 −4 .

Which base in [link] is most appropriate for preparation of a buffer solution with a pH of 10.65? Explain your choice.

For buffers with pHs>7, you should use a weak base and its salt. The most effective buffer will have a ratio [ OH ] K b that is as close to 1 as possible. The pOH of the buffer is 14.00 − 10.65 = 3.35. Therefore, [OH ] is [OH ] = 10 −pOH = 10 −3.35 = 4.467 × 10 −4 M .
We can now solve for K b of the best base as follows:
[ OH ] K b = 1
K b = [OH ] = 4.47 × 10 −4
In [link] , the base with the closest K b to 4.47 × 10 −4 is CH 3 NH 2 , with a K b = 4.4 × 10 −4 .

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
