Missing question:
<span>A. H3PO4 (aq)<--> H+ (aq) + H2PO4- (aq).
B. H2PO4- (aq)<--> H+ (aq) + H2PO4-^2- (aq).
C. H3PO4 (aq)<--> 2H+ (aq) + HPO4^2-(aq).
D. HPO4^2- (aq)<--> H+ (aq) + PO4^3- (aq).
</span>Answer is: A. H3PO4 (aq)<--> H+ (aq) + H2PO4- (aq).
<span>The first dissociation constant :</span>Ka₁ = [H+]·[H₂PO₄⁻] / [H₃PO₄<span>].
In first dissociation phosphoric acid lost one proton (hydrogen ion).

Ans: H₃PO₄ ↔ H⁺ + H₂PO₄⁻

Phosphoric acid is a weak triprotic acid. The three acidic protons are released  in a stepwise manner and are represented in terms of their dissociation constants, ka values.

Step 1: H₃PO₄ ↔ H⁺ + H₂PO₄⁻         Ka₁ = 7.1 *10⁻³

Step 2: H₂PO₄⁻ ↔ H⁺ + HPO₄²⁻       Ka₂ = 6.3 *10⁻⁸

Step 3: HPO₄²⁻ ↔ H⁺ + PO₄³⁻         Ka₃ = 4.5 *10⁻¹³

Since Ka1 is the greatest, the reaction is described by step 1.

An atom of Ni has 26 electrons. What is the charge of this atom?
mina [271]

Answer:

2+

Explanation:

Nickel has an atomic number of 28 meaning that it contains 28 protons in its nucleus. It would need 28 electrons in order to have no charge, because the positive and negative charges balance each other out. Since this atom of Ni has 26 electrons, it has lost 2 of its electrons, and therefore has a positive charge of 2.

Ammonia and oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide and water, like this:
olchik [2.2K]

4NH3+5O2 <=>4NO + 6H2O

Using the definition of Kp, we have
Kp=(Pno^4*Ph2o^6)/(Pnh3^4*Po2^5)
where Pno=partial pressure of NO, etc.

The numerical value for a given temperature can be evaluated when the actual partial pressures are known.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 20PTS AND WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR RIGHT ANSWER!!!
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

C) 0.457

Explanation:

The ratio between O2 and H2O is 1:2 according to the balanced equation. You can find how many moles is O2 by : 5.12/22.4 = 0.22857 ( 1 mole = 22.4 litters)

Moles of H2O will be 0.22857 * 2 = 0.457142.

Therefore answer C)
