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]

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

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

<h3>The concentration of monosodium phosphate is 0.1262M</h3>

6.201cm+7.4cm+0.68 cm+12.0cm

zimovet [89]

If you want the answer is centimeters is it going to be:
26.281 cm
If it make it easier for you to solve add 6.201 and 7.4 which will equal 13.601. Then add .68 to 13.601 which equals 14.281. Last add 12 to 14.281 which equals 26.281.

Hope this helps.

Construct a simulated 1H NMR spectrum for ethyl acetate by dragging and dropping the appropriate splitting patterns into the box

Ksju [112]

Answer:

The simulated 1H NMR spectrum for ethyl acetate is shown in the drawing attached.

Explanation:

To construct this NMR it is necessary to identify the essential components that can produce resonance peaks.

Two main groups can be identified, the acetyl group containing a sub-component (CH3) capable of producing a resonance peak, and the ethyl group containing two components (CH2 and CH3) each of which can produce on its own its own resonance peak.

If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?

Mazyrski [523]

I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.
