Spheres representing Oxygen and Nitrogen are different colors so that it is easier for you to see.
Because there is no gravity
3 there are three different chemical symbols on each side of the equation
According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,
pH = pKa + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]
As,
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = -log (1.8 × 10⁻⁵)
pKa = 4.74
So,
pH = 4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]
4.34 = 4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]
4.34 - 4.74 = log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]
-0.40 = log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]
Taking Antilog on both sides,
[Acetate] / [Acetic Acid] = 0.398
Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.
