A buffer is primarily used to limit the pH change in a solution. Option A is correct.
A buffer is the solution which contains the weak acid and its conjugate base or weak base and its conjugate acid. It is designed to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to it.
When an acid or base is added to a buffer solution, the buffer components react with the added ions to minimize the impact on the solution's pH. If an acid is added, the buffer will react with the acid by accepting the H⁺ ions. If a base is added, the buffer will react with the base by donating H⁺ ions. In both cases, the buffer helps maintain the pH at a relatively stable level.
To prevent an acid from dissociating, is not accurate. A buffer does not prevent an acid from dissociating. In fact, the acid in a buffer solution is necessary to provide the conjugate base and maintain the buffer's pH buffering capacity.
To neutralize the pH of a solution, is also not accurate. A buffer does not neutralize the pH of a solution to a particular value. Instead, it resists significant changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.
To prevent a salt from dissolving, is unrelated to the purpose of a buffer. A buffer is not used to prevent the dissolution of salts.
Hence, A. is the correct option.

Predict whether the entropy change for this process is positive or negative and explain your answer. Then, predict whether the free energy change for the process is positive or negative and explain your answer.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Consider the spontaneous dissolution of NaCl in water: NaCl(s) → Na+(aq) + Cl −(aq) Predict whether the entropy change for this process is positive or negative and explain your answer. Then, predict whether the free energy change for the process is positive or negative and explain your answer.
Answer: The entropy change is positive. The free energy change for the process is negative and reaction is spontaneous.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness of a system. For a system in which randomness increses , the enetropy is said to increase and [tex]\Delta S[/tex] is positive.
As in the given reaction : [tex]NaCl(s)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)[/tex] , the solid is dissociating to give ions , randomness increases and thus entropy is positive.
Also the dissociation of a molecule requires energy , thus the enthalpy [tex]\Delta H[/tex] is also positive as heat is absorbed by the system.

What is the potential energy of a rollercoaster if it weighs 1565 kg and sits on a 115 m tall ride?
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy builds as the coaster is going up the loop-the-loop and converts to kinetic energy on the way down and out of the loop-the-loop. The potential energy of the coaster is at its lowest and the kinetic energy is at its highest as the coaster moves in the lowest point of the loop-the- loop.

Compute the percentage of error to the nearest tenth in the student’s calculation if the actual specific heat value for aluminum is 0.9J:g*C.
Complete Question:
1. A block of aluminum with a mass of 140 g is cooled from 98.4°C to 62.2°C with a release of 4817 J of heat. From these data, calculate the specific heat of aluminum.
a. Compute the percentage of error to the nearest tenth in the student's calculation if the actual specific heat value for aluminum is 0.9 J/g°C
Answer:
Percent error = 55.56 %
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 140 grams
Initial temperature = 62.2°C
Final temperature = 98.4°C
Quantity of heat = 4817 Joules.
To find the specific heat capacity;
Heat capacity is given by the formula;
[tex] Q = mcdt[/tex]
Where;
Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat. m represents the mass of an object. c represents the specific heat capacity of water. dt represents the change in temperature.dt = T2- T1
dt = 98.4 - 62.2
dt = 36.2°C
Making c the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] c = \frac {Q}{mdt} [/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] c = \frac {4817}{140*36.2} [/tex]
[tex] c = \frac {4817}{5068} [/tex]
Specific heat capacity, = 0.95 J/g°C
b. To find the percentage error;
Given the following data;
Actual specific heat capacity = 0.9 J/g°C
Experimental specific heat capacity = 0.95 J/g°C
Percent error can be defined as a measure of the extent to which an experimental value differs from the theoretical value.
Mathematically, it is given by this expression;
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {experimental \;value - actual \; value}{ actual \;value} *100[/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {0.95 - 0.9 }{ 0.9} *100[/tex]
[tex] Percent \; error = \frac {0.5}{0.9} *100[/tex]
[tex] Percent \; error = 0.5556 *100[/tex]
Percent error = 55.56 %

a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum is shown. which wavelength is the longest safest wavelengths for humans？ Helppp pleaseee
Answer:
radio waves
Explanation:
the answer is simple, radio waves. it is radio waves because when you look at the diagram the waves below Radio are very long. if you look at the waves under gamma ray, they are very short. radio is the longest wave while gamma is the shortest. if you are still confused it also says longer wavelength and low frequency( meaning it is safe) right under the wavelength.

What is the percent by volume of a solution that has 45 mL of ethanol CH3OH dissolved in 255 mL of water?
Answer:
Percent volume-volume (%(v/v)) = 100 x (volume of solute / volume of solution)
Percent volume-volume (%(v/v)) = 100 x (volume of solute / volume of solution)ex. 20 ml of methanol dissolved in enough water to make 200 ml of solution would result in a 10 % methanol solution
Percent volume-volume (%(v/v)) = 100 x (volume of solute / volume of solution)ex. 20 ml of methanol dissolved in enough water to make 200 ml of solution would result in a 10 % methanol solution-the units may be any units of volume you chose - as long as they are consistent

What volume of 0.062 M HCl is needed to react to completely neutralize 19.4 mL of 0.050 M Ba(OH)2? *
Answer:
31.3 mL
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ —> BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 2
The mole ratio of the base, Ba(OH)₂ (n₆) = 1
Finally, we shall determine the volume of the acid need for the reaction as follow:
Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) = 0.062 M
Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 2
Volume of base, Ba(OH)₂ (V₆) = 19.4 mL
Molarity of base, Ba(OH)₂ (M₆) = 0.050 M
Mole ratio of the base, Ba(OH)₂ (n₆) = 1
Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) =?
MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ / n₆
0.062 × Vₐ / 0.050 × 19.4 = 2/1
0.062 × Vₐ / 0.97 = 2
Cross multiply
0.062 × Vₐ = 0.97 × 2
0.062 × Vₐ = 1.94
Divide both side by 0.062
Vₐ = 1.94 / 0.062
Vₐ = 31.3 mL
Thus, the volume of the acid needed is 31.3 mL

When mentos and diet coke are mixed, the diet soda explodes
Explanation:
Due to the fact that the mentos are dense, they sink to the bottom of the bottle which gives the diet coke its explosion.
Answers & Explanations:
What happens when Mentos and Diet Coke are mixed?
Mentos sinks rapidly through the liquid, causing a fast, large eruption.
What causes Mentos and Diet Coke to react that way?
The addition of the Mentos leads to the rapid nucleation of carbon dioxide gas bubbles in the Diet Coke, causing them to precipitate out of the solution.

convert 2.41 x 10^2 m to cm
answer choices
2.41cm
2.41 x 10^4cm
2.41 x 10^-2cm
2.41 x 10^-6cm
Answer:
2.41*10² m equals 2.41*10⁴ cm
Explanation:
The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.
If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
So: [tex]x=\frac{c*b}{a}[/tex]
In this case the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 m equals 100 cm, 2.41*10² m equals how many cm?
[tex]cm=\frac{2.41*10^{2} m*100 cm}{1 m}[/tex]
cm= 24100 = 2.41*10⁴
2.41*10² m equals 2.41*10⁴ cm
