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

The sun has been up for several hours, and it has been shining on these trees. What can the trees do because they are in sunligh
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1. C. take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage

molecules.

2. b Carbon is moving into the air and out of the air at the same time

Explanation:

Question 1:

Trees are plants, which are autotrophic organisms i.e. set of organisms that are capable of producing their own food via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. This photosynthetic process produces sugars (glucose) in the presence of SUNLIGHT. According to this question, the sun has been up for several hours, and has been shining on these trees. This means that the trees can take in carbo dioxide (CO2) in order to perform the process of photosynthesis. Also, the number of energy storage molecules in the trees (ATP) will INCREASE.

What can the trees do because they are in sunlight? What does this mean for the ?

After 20 min, a reactant has decomposed to 85 % of its original concentration. Which order would the reaction need to be to allo
rjkz [21]

Answer : The value of rate constant is, 0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time passed by the sample  = 20 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 85 = 15 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{20}\log\frac{100}{15}

k=0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}

Therefore, the value of rate constant is, 0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}
