    Calculate Moles of CH3NH2 Needed for pH 9.55: Buffer Solution

    You want to have a ph of 9.55 with a buffer. How many grames of CH3NH3ClO4 would you add to 800 ml of 0.258 M CH3NH2 to do this. Assume volume remains constant. Kb for methylamine is 4.2x10^-4. My answer is 320g. Can anyone check this please? I have an exam on buffers very fast. You would do...

    Kinematics and Work-Energy problem with skier

    One doubt remains: even the skier lands parallel to the ground, there is still a collision, a loss of velocity, no?

    Kinematics and Work-Energy problem with skier

    Please look at attached picture. Why did my teacher assume that vf does not change upon landing in the last sub-question? This makes no sense to me. Is there such a way that the skier can change direction of vf without changing the magnitude of it? Otherwise, the skier will collide in an...

    Elastic collision conceptual problem

    Hello, My textbook says that if two equal masses, with the second one of them at rest initially, collide in an elastic collision. The first mass will stop and the second one will have the initial speed of the first mass. WHY? This makes no sense to me. Elastic collision only means momentum...

    How Does Reorienting a Cylinder Affect the Juice Level?

    A cylindrical container of height 1 m and diameter 0.5 m is partially filled with apple juice. When the container is lying on its side, the juice level at the deepest point is 37.5 cm (three eighths of a meter from the bottom of the cylinder is full). What is the liquid level after the container...

    What is the relationship between A and a in this graph?

    There is a graph associated to it. Please look at the screenshot. Ok, so, here is my process. I modeled the three functions. y=x y=1/a^2 x and y=1/x Then, I calculated A using calculus. (Integrals) Integral of x-1/a^2 x from 0 to 1 + integral of 1/x-1/a^2 x from 1 to a A=1-1/a^2...

    NR3: Acid or Base? Answers to Your Questions

    Should I need more info than just the formula to know if acid or base? Why? I am really confused. What does R stand for? SORRY, I MEANT NR3. PLEASE IGNORE CH3NH3ClO2.

    Arc Length Units: Explained & Solved Problem

    Hello, I solved the arc length for a particular problem. However, what is the unit of arc length if the units of the velocity vs time graph are m/s vs s? I am really confused.

    Single bead on a vertical circle.

    Imagine that a single bead has a hole in it. It is passed inside a " vertical " circle with no friction. Imagine that the "vertical"circle moves by spinning around its vertical axis and that the bead is, AT THE BEGINNING, on the bottom of the vertical circle. We had another problem related to...

    Solving the Integral of x/(x^3+1): Tips and Tricks

    This is really a tough problem. I was able to solve it using partial fractions at first, completing the square, and several substitutions. I get the same answer as Wolfram Alpha. I feel as though there is an easier way. Any hints?

    K-value missing in acid-base problem?

    What initial concentration of HF (aq) in water would give a solution with a pH = 1.5? I think the K value is missing... How could we solve this problem?

    Why Can't We Calculate Work Done by Friction?

    Cwatters: experimental data of course! But how does that link to W=Ffriction* delta s not being usable? I am so lost :(

    Why Can't We Calculate Work Done by Friction?

    I just don't get why they say we can't use W=Ffriction*delta s. This would allow us to find change in thermal energy.
