I need to calculate the buffer capacity in acid and in a base from these data. Then I need to write a short paragraph ( 7 sentences) explaining what happen and why one is better buffer that the other.

Buffer Capacity = (number of moles of OH- or H3O+ added)

How much of a change in freezing point would the ocean experience if the glaciers and...

How much of a change in freezing point would the ocean experience if the glaciers and icebergs melted? Here is what i have so far:

If all of the glaciers and ice caps on earth melted, 24,064,000 cubic kilometers of fresh water would become mixed in with the ocean’s 1,338,000,000 cubic kilometers of saline water.

24,064,000 km^3 + 1,338,000,000 km^3 = 1,362,064,000 km^3

Currently, the ocean’s salinity is 3.5% (http://water.usgs.gov/edu/whyoceansalty.html). The ocean’s salinity would decrease to 3.4% if all of the glaciers and ice caps were to melt.

1,338,000,000 km^3 saline water x .035 = 46,830,000 km^3 salt

46,830,000 km^3 salt / 1,362,064,000 cm^3 = .034 0.034 x 100 = 3.4%

Currently the freezing point of the ocean’s surface is -1.8 degrees Celsius (28.8 degrees Fahrenheit) (http://nsidc.org/cryosphere/seaice/index.html).

I know it's a freezing point depression question and i use

Delta Tf = m x Kf

Kf of water is 1.86 C/m

But I can't figure out how to get 46,830,000 km^3 salt into molality (moles/kg solvent)

Thanks!!

In the manufacture of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the API goes through a final purification step in which it is crystallized , filtered, and washed. The washed crystals contain 47 wt% water. They are fed to a tunnel dryer and leave the dryer at a rate of 165 kg/h containing 5% adhered moisture. Dry air enters the dryer at 145°F and 1 atm, and the outlet air is at 130°F and 1 atm with a relative humidity of 50%. Calculate the rate (kg/h) at which the API enters the dryer and the volumetric flow rate (ft3/h) of inlet air.
