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

How many grams of sodium chloride are required to make a 1.0 L solution with a concentration of 3.5 M?
satela [25.4K]
3.5 M has 3.5 moles per litre
so we have one litre, so we need 3.5 moles
moles = mass/molarmass
3.5 * 23 = 80.5

A magnesium ion, Mg2+, is formed from a magnesium atom, Mg.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The correct row is B.

Explanation:

The formation of the magnesium ion, Mg²⁺, comes from the removal of 2 electrons from the valence shell of the magnesium atom.<em> </em>Since the remotion is of electrons, the nucleus of the atom remains the same, so the number of protons and the number of neutrons does not change.<em> </em>

If the number of proton change, then the atom also change, since the identity of an atom is related to the atomic number which is the same to the proton number.          

Now, if the number of neutrons changes, then we would be in the presence of an isotope of the magnesium atom.        

Therefore, the correct row is B.  

I hope it helps you!

how many molecules of sulfuric acid are in a spherical raindrop of diameter 6.0 mm if the acid rain has a concentration of 4.4 *
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The number of moles =

Moles=4.97\times 10^{-8}

The number of molecules =

Molecules = 2.99\times 10^{16}

Explanation:

Volume of the sphere is given by :

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

here, r = radius of the sphere

radius=\frac{diameter}{2}

radius=\frac{6.0}{2}

Radius = 3 mm

r = 3 mm

1 mm = 0.01 dm (1 millimeter = 0.001 decimeter)

3 mm = 3 x 0.01 dm = 0.03 dm

r = 0.03 dm

<em>("volume must be in dm^3 , this is the reason radius is changed into dm"</em>

<em>"this is done because 1 dm^3 = 1 liter and concentration is always measured in liters")</em>

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.03^{3}

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 2.7\times 10^{-5}

V=1.13\times 10^{-4}dm^{3}

V=1.13\times 10^{-4}L   (1 L = 1 dm3)

Now, concentration "C"=

C=4.4\times 10^{-4}moles/liter  

The concentration is given by the formula :

C=\frac{moles}{Volume(L)}

This is also written as,

Moles = C\times Volume

Moles=1.13\times 10^{-4}\times 4.4\times 10^{-4}

Moles=4.97\times 10^{-8}moles

One mole of the substance contain "Na"(= Avogadro number of molecules)

So, "n"  mole of substance contain =( n x Na )

N_{a}=6.022\times 10^{23}

Molecules =

Molecule=4.97\times 10^{-8}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}

Molecules = 2.99\times 10^{16} molecules

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.0 g; 3.1 mol

Explanation:

(a) Mass of O atoms

Mass = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms × (2.66 × 10^-23 g/1 atom) = 16.0 g

(b) Moles of O atoms

0.050 kg = 50 g

Moles = 50 g × (1 mol/16.0 g) = 3.1 mol

A marble is L 1.32 W 1.32 H 1.32, what is the volume? Show your work
cupoosta [38]

The volume of the marble is 2.3 cube units.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Length (L) = 1.32
  • Width (W) = 1.32
  • Height (H) = 1.32
  • Volume (V) =?

The volume of the marble can be obtained as follow:

V = L × W × H

V = 1.32 × 1.32 × 1.32

V = 2.3 cube units

Thus, the volume of the marble is 2.3 cube units.
