Answer : Option C) Atomic Size
Explanation : The atomic radius of the elements is found to be decreasing if we go from left to right in the modern periodic table. Accordingly,
increases as the number of shielding electrons present in the atomic nucleus of the periodic elements which lies in the same row remains constant while the number of protons in each atomic shell increases.
The effective nuclear charge
of an atom is defined as the net positive charge which is felt by the valence electron of the atomic element.
When
is observed to decrease, it is seen that the atomic radius grows in size. So, it explains the inverse relationship between both. This phenomenon occurs, because there is more screening of the electrons from the nucleus taking place, which is observed due to decrease the attraction between the electron and the nucleus.
A. an ion
The atom gains a net electrical charge if the number of protons and electrons are not equal which makes it an ion.
The answer to this would be false.
Answer:
The pH value of the mixture will be 7.00
Explanation:
Mono and disodium hydrogen phosphate mixture act as a buffer to maintain pH value around 7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH value of a buffer mixture, which is mathematically expressed as,
![pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%29)
According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow
![pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BNa_%7B2%7DHPO_%7B4%7D%20%5D%7D%7B%5BNaH_%7B2%7DPO_%7B4%7D%5D%7D%29)
The base and acid are assigned by observing the pKa values of both the compounds; smaller value means more acidic. NaH₂PO₄ has a pKa value of 6.86, while Na₂HPO₄ has a pKa value of 12.32 (not given, but it's a constant). Another more easy way is to the count the acidic hydrogen in the molecular formula; the compound with more acidic hydrogens will be assigned acidic and vice versa.
Placing all the given data we obtain,
