KH₂PO₄ hydrolyzes as;
H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O ↔ H₃PO₄ + OH⁻
Let x amount of H₂PO₄⁻ has reacted with water then,
Kb₁ = [H₃PO₄][OH⁻] / [H₂PO₄⁻]
[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.8-x M
Kb₁ = x² / (0.8 - x)
Given Ka₁ = 7.5 x 10⁻³
so Kb₁ = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / (7.5 x 10⁻³) = 1.33 x 10⁻¹²
From this information:
1.33 x 10⁻¹² = x² / 0.8
x = [OH⁻] = 1.03 x 10⁻⁶ M
pOH = - log (1.03 x 10⁻⁶) = 5.99
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.99 = 8.01

Suppose you used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate your vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M. What effect does the concentration of base added ha
laiz [17]

Answer: the reliability will be worse

Explanation:

Suppose we used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate our vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M.

Now by using 0.5M instead of 0.1M we are increasing the concentration of NaOH,

We know that  the moles used = Volume x concnetration.

so for the same no of moles, if the concentration increases, the volume decreases.

Hence it will consume less NaOH.

now Since the volume decreases, the titration volume of less number will increase the % error.

Therefore the reliability will be worse.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

No haces literalmente, pero metepóricamente, su forma de hablar, lo que significa que tienes un sentimiento no argumental hacia algunos. La resonancia detrás de esto es que algunas personas pueden encontrar atractiva a una persona concreta o tener una buena personalidad, así que comienzas a asimilar esos sentimientos.
