Silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. It is used in the electronics industry to manufacture transistors, and in the construction industry to produce concrete and Portland cement. The following graph shows the relative abundances of the naturally occurring silicon isotopes.

Answer asap need to be answered by wednesday morning explain how a buffer works, using an ethanoic acid / sodium ethanoate system including how the system resists changes in ph upon addition of a small amount of base and upon addition of a small amount of acid respectively. include the following calculations in your i. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 25cm3 0.1m ch3cooh and 40cm3 0.1m ch3coo-na+. [ka = 1.74 x 10-5 m] ii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m naoh to 500cm3 of this buffer solution. iii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m hcl to 200cm3 of the original buffer solution.
