The combination used in the preparation of a buffer with a pH around 8.8 accounts for ka = 7 * 10 -3 for h 3po4

The ph of the buffer can be shown as:

pH = pKa + log [Salt] /[ Acid ]

[Salt] /[ Acid ] = x

For h3po4 with ka= 7 × 10–3

8.8 = - log (7 × 10^–3) + log x

8.8 = 2.21 + log x

Thus, the value of log x is coming positive and therefore can be used for preparing buffer.

For h2po4- with ka= 8 × 10–8

8.8 = - log (8 × 10^–8) + log x

8.8 = 7.14 + log x

Thus, the value of log x is coming positive and therefore can be used for preparing buffer.

For hpo42– with ka= 5 × 10–13

8.8 = - log (5 × 10–13) + log x

8.8 = 12.31 + log x

Thus, the value of log x is coming negative and therefore can not be used for preparing buffer.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

. Sulfur dioxide can be produced in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and a sulfite salt such as sodium sulfit

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Mass of SO₂ can be made from 25.0 g of Na₂SO₃ and 22 g of HCl = 12.672 g

Explanation:

SO₂( sulfur dioxide) can be produced in the lab. by the reaction of hydrochloric acid & sulphite salt such as sodium.

the balanced chemical equation is as follows

Na₂SO₃ + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + SO₂ + H₂O

Moles of Na₂SO₃ = $\frac{Mass}{Molecular mass} =\frac{25}{126} = 0.198$

Moles of HCl = $\frac{mass}{molecular mass}=\frac{22}{36.5}= 0.6$

using mole ratio method to find limiting reagent

For sodium sulfite $\frac{mole}{stoichiometry} = \frac{0.198}{1}= 0.198$

for HCl $\frac{mole}{stoichiometry} = \frac{0.6}{2}= 0.3$

since <u>sodium sulfite</u> is <u>limiting reactant</u> for above chemical reaction

1 mole of Na₂SO₃ produce 1 mole of SO₂

0.198 mole of Na₂SO₃ produce 0.198 mole of SO₂

∴ Mass of SO₂ produce = mole x molar mass of SO₂

= 0.198 x 64

= 12.672 g

Which element, if combined with chlorine, will have the greatest attraction for the chlorine electrons? N P As

Mumz [18]

Basically, the answer for this would be N or NITROGEN. If we combine nitrogen with chlorine, what happens is that, it can attract more chlorine electrons towards itself. The reason is that, nitrogen is considered more electronegative compared to chlorine. So best answer for this is the first option.

A train that is accelerating at 5m/s² down the tracks and crashes into a car. If the train weighs 20,000kg, how much force does

iragen [17]

Answer:

100,000 N

Explanation:

Force, F = mass, m × acceleration, a

⇒F = ma

m= 20, 000kg

a = 5m/s²

∴ F = 5 × 20,000 = 100,000N
