Answer :

The correct answer for primary component of phosphate buffer at pH = 7.4 is H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ .

<u>Buffer solution :</u>

It is a solution of mixture of weak acid and its conjugate base OR weak base and its conjugate acid . It resist any change in solution when small amount of strong acid or base is added .

<u>Capacity of a good buffer : </u>

A good buffer is identified when pH = pKa .

From Hasselbalch - Henderson equation which is as follows :

pH = pka + log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If [A⁻] = [HA] ,

pH = pka + log 1

pH = pKa

This determines that if  concentration of  weak acid  and its conjugate base are changed in small quantity , the capacity of  buffer to maintain a constant pH is greatest at pka .  If the amount of [A⁻] or [HA] is changed in large amount , the log value deviates more than +/-  1M and hence pH .

Hence Buffer has best capacity at pH = pka .

<u>Phosphate Buffer : </u>

Phosphate may have three types of acid-base pairs at different pka ( shown in image ).

Since the question is asking the pH = 7.4

At pH = 7.4 , the best phosphate buffer will have pka near to 7.4 .

If image is checked the acid - base pair  " H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻  has pka 7.2 which is near to pH = 7.4 .

Hence we can say  , the primary chemical component of phosphate buffer at pH = 7.4  is H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻  .

. The net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs during the titration of nitrous acid with sodium hydroxide is (a) HNO2 Na
hjlf

Answer:

H^+_{(aq)}+OH^{-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Only the species which are present in aqueous state dissociate.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

(a)

The balanced molecular equation will be,

HNO_2_{(aq)}+NaOH_{(aq)}\rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}+NaNO_2_{(aq)}

The complete ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

H^+_{(aq)}+NO_2^-_{(aq)}+Na^+_{(aq)}+OH^{-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}+Na^+_{(aq)}+NO_2^-_{(aq)}

In this equation the species present are, Na^+\text{ and }NO_2^- are the spectator ions.

Hence, the net ionic equation contains specie is  

H^+_{(aq)}+OH^{-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}

____________ heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C, and it is related to
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

specific heat.

Explanation:

Definition:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree is called specific heat.

Formula:

Q = m. c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat required

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

The substance with greater value of specific heat require more heat to raise the temperature while the substance with lower value will raise its temperature very quickly by absorbing smaller heat.

For example the beach sand gets hot very quickly because of lower specific heat of sand while water is colder than sand because of higher specific heat capacity.

What is the ph of a solution that results from mixing 25 ml of 0.15 M hcl to 25 ml of 0.52 m nh3?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

7.00

Explanation:

When the solutions are mixed, the HCl dissociates to form the ions H+ and Cl-. The ion H+ will react with the NH3 to form NH4+. The stoichiometry for this is 1 mol of HCl to 1 mol of H+ to 1 mol of Cl-, and 1 mol of H+ to 1 mol of NH3 to 1 mol of NH4+.

First, let's find the number of moles of each one of them, multiplying the concentration by the volume:

nH+ = 0.15 M * 25 mL = 3.75 mmol

nNH3 = 0.52 M * 25 mL = 13 mmol

So, all the H+ is consumed, and the neutralization is completed, thus pH will be the pH of the solvent (water), pH = 7.00.
