Answer:

Use Ka3

henderson-hasselbach equation: pH = pKa + log [base]/[acid]

pKa3 = - log Ka3 = - log 4.2 x 10^-13 = 12.38

therefore: pH = 12.38 + log (0.28/0.33) = 12.30

the pH is 12.30

Explanation:

phosphoric acid is a polyprotic acid meaning it donates more than one proton

weak Acid  ↔ conjugate Base

H3PO4      ↔   H2PO4^-  corresponding to Ka1

H2PO4^-     ↔   HPO4^2- corresponding to Ka2

HPO4^2-    ↔   PO4^3-   corresponding to Ka3

A buffer consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base, the given buffer has the combination of HPO4^2- and PO4^3- thud we used Ka3

knowing that we used henderson-hasselbach equation to get the pH which is 12.30

xavier, yaozhou and zara had some beads. xavier and yaozhou had total of 438 beads. xavier and zara had total of 204 beads. youz
SVEN [57.7K]
To solve this problem, we need to set-up algebraic expression. First, use variables to represent the number of beads. 

Let: x = number of Xavier's beads
       y = number of Y<span>aozhou's beads
       z = number of Zara's beads

</span>It is important to note that since we have three unknowns, we should also have three independent equations. <span>Based on the given statements, we have the following three equations:

(1) x + y = 438
(2) x + z = 204
(3) y = 3z

Substitute y in terms of z in equation (1). Then multiply equation (2) with -1. 

x + 3z = 438
-(x + z = 204)
-------------------
      2z = 234
        z = 117

From equation (3),

y = 3(117) = 351

Using equation (1),

x = 438 - 351 = 87

Thus, Xavier had 87 beads.</span>

Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?
ziro4ka [17]
The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

Pure nitrogen (N2) and pure hydrogen (H2) are fed to a mixer. The product stream has 40.0% mole nitrogen and the balance hydroge
LuckyWell [14K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Mass flow rate of mixture = 1368 kg/hr

      N_{2} in feed = 40 mole%

This means that H_{2} in feed = (100 - 40)% = 60%

We assume that there are 100 total moles/hr of gas (N_{2} + H_{2}) in feed stream.

Hence, calculate the total mass flow rate as follows.

           40 moles/hr of N_{2}/hr (28 g/mol of N_{2}) + 60 moles/hr of H_{2}/hr (2 g/mol of H_{2})

                  40 \times 28 g/hr + 60 \times 2 g/hr    

                  = 1120 g/hr + 120 g/hr

                  = 1240 g/hr

                  = \frac{1240}{1000}              (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                  = 1.240 kg/hr

Now, we will calculate mol/hr in the actual feed stream as follows.

                 \frac{100 mol/hr}{1.240 kg/hr} \times 1368 kg/hr

                   = 110322.58 moles/hr

It is given that amount of nitrogen present in the feed stream is 40%. Hence, calculate the flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.4 \times 110322.58 moles/hr

                      = 44129.03 mol/hr

As 1 mole of nitrogen has 28 g/mol of mass or 0.028 kg.

Therefore, calculate the rate flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.028 kg \times 44129.03 mol/hr

                         = 1235.612 kg/hr

Thus, we can conclude that the the feed rate of pure nitrogen to the mixer is 1235.612 kg/hr.

Part f - question 6 of the us adopted and maintained a policy of minimal control of co2 emissions, what level would we expect it
nasty-shy [4]
It seems that you have missed the necessary details for us to answer this question, so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. If the US <span>adopted and maintained a policy of minimal control of co2 emissions, the level that we would expect its emissions to be in 2020 is that WE CAN'T TELL FROM THIS DATA. Hope this helps.</span>
