phosphate?

At 25 ∘C phosphoric acid, H3PO4, has the following equilibrium constants:

Ka1= 7.5×10^-3

Ka2= 36.2×10^−8

Ka3 = 4.2×10^−13

This is a question about the dissociation of weak polyprotic acids.

When pKas of polyprotic intermediates have a difference of 2 or more you just average them using the equation: pH = (pKa2 + pKa3) / 2

pKa2 = -log(Ka2) ; pKa3 = -log(Ka3)

So, for this problem, REGARDLESS OF THE SUPPLIED CONCENTRATION , the answer is:

pH = (7.2076+12.3767) / 2

pH = 9.79

In this task, you’ll observe a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water. write a hypothesis to predict the rel

Archy [21]

Answer:

Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;

NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.

We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.

We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'

If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.

What units can NOT be derived from a balanced chemical equation-

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

D) Volume of gas

E) Temperature

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation can provide the following information :

The reactants and products through their symbols and formulae. The ratio of molecules of reactants and products. As molecular masses are expressed in unified mass (u), the relative masses of reactants and products are known from the equation.

To make a 0.500 M solution, one could take 0.500 moles of solute and add Group of answer choices enough solvent to make 1.00 kg

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: The correct option is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution

Explanation:

A solution consists of solute and solvent. A solute is defined as the component present in a smaller proportion while the solvent is defined as the component that is present in a larger proportion.

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume}$ .......(1)
