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 are these 3 types of rocks related/ similar?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The rock cycle

Explanation:

The three types of rocks are related and connected through the rock cycle. Rocks are not formed independently of one another, the process of their formation are interconnected.

 Igneous rocks are made from cooling and solidification of magma. These magma are derived from the melting of rocks that have been subjected to high temperature and pressure.

 When igneous rocks are formed, they can follow two path ways. They either get transformed to sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks.

When igneous rocks are subjected to metamorphic conditions, their mineralogy is altered to form metamorphic rocks.

If igneous rocks gets weathered and broken down by agents of denudation, they end up getting transformed into sedimentary rocks.

Which statement best explains the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?(1 point)
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Answer is 4

Explanation:

Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. ... If the electronegativity of two atoms is basically the same, a nonpolar covalent bond will form, and if the electronegativity is slightly different, a polar covalent bond will form.

Compound X has a molar mass of 416.48 g mol
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

P₂Cl₁₀

Explanation:

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

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Percentage of phosphorus (P) = 14.87%

Percentage of Chlorine (Cl) = 85.13%

Molecular formula of X =?

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

P = 14.87%

Cl = 85.13%

Divide by their molar mass

P = 14.87 / 31 = 0.480

Cl = 85.13 / 35.5 = 2.398

Divide by the smallest

P = 0.480 / 0.480 = 1

Cl = 2.398 / 0.480 = 5

Empirical formula of compound X is PCl₅

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound X = 416.48 g/mol

Empirical formula = PCl₅

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula= [Empirical formula]ₙ

[PCl₅]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + (35.5 × 5)]ₙ = 416.48

[31 + 177.5]n = 416.48

208.5n = 416.48

Divide both side by 208.5

n = 416.48 / 208.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]ₙ

Molecular formula = [PCl₅]₂

Molecular formula = P₂Cl₁₀

Therefore, the molecular formula of compound X is P₂Cl₁₀
