Answer:

The concentration of monosodium phosphate is 0.1262M

Explanation:

The buffer of H₂PO₄⁻ / HPO₄²⁻ (Monobasic phosphate and dibasic phosphate has a pKa of 7.2

To determine the pH you must use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is molarity of the conjugate base of the weak acid, [HA].

For H₂PO₄⁻ / HPO₄⁻ buffer:

pH = 7.2 + log [HPO₄⁻² ] / [H₂PO₄⁻]

As molarity of the dibasic phosphate is 0.2M and you want a pH of 7.4:

7.4 = 7.2 + log [0.2] / [H₂PO₄⁻]

0.2 = log [0.2] / [H₂PO₄⁻]

1.58489 = [0.2] / [H₂PO₄⁻]

[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.1262M

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

kari74 [83]

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.

This reaction releases energy as heat. Explain whether it obeys the law of conservation of energy.

Anon25 [30]

The reaction that releases energy as heat is called an Exothermic reaction. This reaction does obey the law of conservation by preserving the energy present in the molecule and converting it to thermal heat to maintain it's from. Most reactions obey the law of conservation of energy.

Explain the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and energy

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, but inversely proportional to its wavelength. In other words, the greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength.

Which of the following tend to possess the same number of outer electrons? A. all molecules with the same number of atoms B. all

exis [7]

Answer:

the answer would be "B"

Explanation:

Elements with the same number of valence electrons are found in the same column of the Periodic Table. All elements in the first column of the Periodic Table have 1 valence electron in an s orbital. These elements are known as Group 1A metals or alkali metals.
