The HCl added = 1.25 moles
and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole
Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4
One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4
Na2HPO4 + H+ ---> NaH2PO4
Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution
So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4
NaH2PO4 + H+ ---> H3PO4
pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1
so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58
so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2
Explanation:
A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.
Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.
An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.
- Metals generally have large sizes.
- when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
- therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
- Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
- It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.
