Will a buffer's pH increase, decrease, or be unchanged by the addition of pure DI water? Explain.
Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
pH of buffer solution is
pH = pKa + log
When , Deionised (DI) water is added ratio of concentration of conjugate base and its acid will be same.
Hence, pH of the buffer will be unchanged by the addition of pure DI water.
Will a buffer's pH increase, decrease, or be unchanged by the addition of pure DI water?...
State whether each of the following would increase, decrease, or leave the initial pH unchanged and explain your reasoning: Using the same weak acid, but having a higher concentration. Using 80.00 mL of this weak acid instead of 40.00 mL.
pH of acetic acid/acetate buffer pH of pure water Pure solution (no additions) Addition of 10 mL of 0.01 M HCI Addition of 10 mL of 0.01 M NaOH Comment on the changes in pH in the acetate buffer as opposed to that of pure water. What does this tell you about the role of a buffer?
State whether each of the following would increase, decrease, or leave the initial pH unchanged and explain your reasoning (acid is chloroacetic acid, a weak acid): Using the same weak acid, but having a higher concentration. Using 80.00 mL of this weak acid instead of 40.00 mL. Using a different weak acid that has a larger Ka value.

Ph of Na2C2H3O2 and DI water solution before distillation: 7.0 Ph of Na2C2H3O2 and Di water solution after distillation: 6.0 Explain the change in pH between: a. The starting solution and the distillate you collected. b. The salt solution before distillation and the undistilled salt solution at the end of the distillation process.
What will happen to the pH or pure water if 1.0 g of ammonium nitrate is dissolved in It? Decrease Increase Remains the same
Indicate whether entropy will increase (I), decrease (D), or is unchanged (U). a. ______ Your cup of coffee feels hot as you hold it. b. ______ Condensation forms on your glass of water at dinner. c. ______ You spray a can of WD40. d. ______ Your car uses combustion to crank. e. ______ Ice forms on the road. f. ______ The ice on your windshield melts.
the options for the first question is: increase slightly, increase by 2 units, decrease slightly, decrease by two units, and not change. the options for the second question is: of the weak acid, of the salt. Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. A buffer solution that is 0.301 M in CH, COOH and 0.301 M in CH,COONa has a pH of 4.74. The addition of 0.01 mol of H, 0 to 1.0 L of...
Does the optimal amount of schooling for an individual increase, decrease or remain unchanged in the following situation: the skills the person acquired in school depreciate over time, perhaps because technological change makes the things they learned in school obsolete. NOTE: to receive full credit make sure you explain the logic behind your choice.
MULT CHOICE OPTIONS 1. decrease, stay unchanged, increase 2. increase, Stan unchanged, decrease 3.saving equals investment, output reaches a peak, planned investment is zero The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no government, no taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers (citizens of Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 25 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that...
