Answer:

C is correct

Explanation:

The molar mass is the total mass of a compound, that means, you need to add the mass of every single atom in the formula. In this case, you have one atom of Magnesium, two atoms of Oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen, that is the reason why you need to multiply molar mass x 2 in the case of Oxygen and Hydrogen

Answer C. is correct:

(molar mass of Mg) + (2 x molar mass of O) + (2 x molar mass of H)

A phosphate buffer is involved in the formation of urine. The developing urine contains H2PO4 and HPO42- in the same concentrati

Katen [24]

Answer:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

Explanation:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

As the Bronsted definition sais, an acid is a substance with the ability to give protons thus, H2PO4 is the acid and HPO42- is the conjugate base.

The Ka expression is the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants of the equilibrium reaction so,

$Ka = \frac{[HPO_{4}^{-2}] [H_{3}O^{+}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}] [H_{2}O]} = 6.2x10^{-8}$

The pKa is

$-Log (Ka) = -Log (6.2x10^{-8}) = 7.2$

The pKa of H2CO3 is 6,35, thus this a stronger acid than H2PO4. The higher the pKa of an acid greater the capacity to donate protons.

In the body H2CO3 is a more optimal buffer for regulating pH due to the combination of the two acid-base equilibriums and the two pKa.

If the urine is acidified, according to Le Chatlier's Principle the equilibrium (1) moves to the left neutralizing the excess proton concentration.
