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

Which element has the following electron configuration: <br> 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5

Natasha2012 [34]

Try adding spaces next time! That's iodine. Check all of the numbers to make sure all of the orbitals are filled, then find the ones which aren't. In this one, only the 5p5 subshell isn't full. 5p5 is the fifth row on the right side, count across the nonmetals and metalloids until the fifth one (a halogen). That's iodine, and that's your answer!

The electron configurations of two unknown elements x and y are shown. X: 1s2 2s2 2p6 Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 Which statement is

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable

Explanation:

The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :

X: 1s2 2s2 2p6

Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.

To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.

Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.

Hence, the correct option is "B".

When scientists are ready to publish the results of their experiments, why is it important for them to include a description of

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: To be able to not forget what have they done when they want to re-do it.

to make it easier for the next person to re-do the experiment.

Explanation:

the description of the procedure ensures that when the experiment becomes of a success,specific steps are recorded for improvement of the experiment if maybe the experiment can be done at a short space of time.

Why does it generally take more enthalpy to ignite a solid than a gas or liquid?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It is due to the nature of the reactants

Explanation:

To ignite a solid, we require more heat component compared to liquids and gases. For ignition to occur, oxygen gas combines with a reactant in most cases.

Some factors affect the rate rate at which a chemical proceeds. One of the factors is the nature of reactants.

The solid phase is very slow while the gaseous phase is rapid and fast.

solid phase < liquid phase < gas phase

Gases are free and the molecules move in all direction. They easily combine and react very fast.
