We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+ + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:
PH= -㏒[H+]
= -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32
What are " of the following"?
Answer:
HCl (aq) + KOH (aq) --------> KCl (aq) + H2O (l) [balanced molecular equation]
Explanation:
Balanced molecular equation has all the components of reaction written as "molecules" thus the name molecular (the other equations break appropriate components into ions, those are total ionic or net ionic equation)
We know hydrochloride acid solution is written as HCl (aq) and potassium hydroxide solution is written as KOH (aq). We know from our knowledge that when acids react with bases they make salt and water, so now we react!
HCl (aq) + KOH (aq) --------> KCl (aq) + H2O (l) [balanced molecular equation]
