Answer :

The correct answer   for Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g and mass of  NaH₂PO₄  = 8.23 g

Given :  pH = 6.86

Total concentration of Phosphate buffer = 0.1 M

Asked : Mass of  Sodium phosphate monobasic (NaH₂PO₄) = ?

Mass of  Sodium phosphate dibasic(Na₂HPO₄)= ?

Following steps can be done to find the masses of NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ :

(In phosphate buffer , Na+ ion from  NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ acts as spectator ion , so only H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ will be considered )

<u>Step 1 : To find pka </u>

H₂PO₄⁻  <=> HPO₄²⁻  

The above reaction has pka = 7.2 ( from image shown )

<u>Step 2 : Plug values in Hasselbalch- Henderson equation </u>.

Hasselbalch -Henderson equation is to find pH  for buffer solution which is as follows :

pH = pka + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

pH = 6.86         pKa = 7.2

6.86 = 7.2 + log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

Subtracting  both side by 7.2

6.86-7.2 = 7.2 -7.2+ log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

-0.34 =  log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

Removing log

10^-^0^.^3^4 =   \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}

\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457 ---------------- equation (1)

<u>Step 3 : To find  molarity of H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻</u>

Total concentration of buffer = [H₂PO₄⁻] + [HPO₄²⁻] = 0.1 M

Hence,  [H₂PO₄⁻ ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 M

Assume [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

So ,  [x ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] =  0.1 - x

Step 4 : Plugging value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  and  [ HPO₄²⁻ ]

[H₂PO₄⁻ ]  = x

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Equation (1) = >\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457

Plug value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  and  [ HPO₄²⁻ ] ( from step 3 ) into equation (1)  as :

\frac{[0.1 - x ]}{[ x]} = 0.457

Cross multiplying

0.1 - x  = 0.457 x

Adding x on both side

0.1 -x + x = 0.457 x + x

0.1  = 1.457 x

Dividing both side by 1.457

\frac{0.1}{1.457} = \frac{1.457 x }{1.457}

x = 0.0686 M

Hence , [H₂PO₄⁻ ]  = x  = 0.0686 M

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

 [ HPO₄²⁻ ]  =   0.1 - 0.0686  

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.0314 M

Step 5 : To find moles of  H₂PO₄⁻ ( NaH₂PO₄) and HPO₄²⁻ (Na₂HPO₄ ) .

Molarity is defined as mole of solute per 1 L volume of solution .

Molarity of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 M  or 0.0686 mole per 1 L

Molarity of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 M  or 0.0314 mole per 1 L

Since  that volume of buffer solution  is 1 L , so Molarity  = mole

Hence Mole of NaH₂PO₄  = 0.0686 mol

Mole of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 mol

<u>Step 6 : To find mass  of Na₂HPO₄  and NaH₂PO₄ </u>

Moles of  Na₂HPO₄  and NaH₂PO₄  can be converted to their masses using molar mass as follows :

Molar mass of  Na₂HPO₄  = 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}

Molar mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass (g) = mole (mol)* molar mass(\frac{g}{mol})

Mass of Na_2HPO_4 = 0.0314 mol * 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g

Mass of NaH_2PO_4 = 0.0686 mol * 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of  NaH₂PO₄  = 8.23 g

What is the formal charge on the hydrogen atom in hbr? use the periodic table as needed?
Westkost [7]
A covalent bond is formed between H and Br
The structure of HBr is as follows
H —Br
Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.
Formal charge can be calculated as follows ;
Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons -( number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)
H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons
Formal charge of H = 1 -1 -0 = 0
H has 0 charge

How is primary selection different from secondary succession?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Primary and secondary succession occur after both human and natural events that cause drastic change in the makeup of an area. Primary succession occurs in areas where there is no soil and secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil.

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

Hope this helped :)

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.
