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]})

According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow

pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})

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,

pH=6.86 + log(\frac{0.058}{0.042})

pH=7.00

A reaction that occurs in the internal combustion engine is n2(g) + o2(g) ⇌ 2 no(g) (a) calculate δh o and δs o for the reaction
jekas [21]
1) ΔrH = 2mol·ΔfH(NO) - (ΔfH(O₂) + ΔfH(N₂)).
ΔrH = 2 mol · 90.3 kJ/mol - (0 kJ/mol + 0 kJ/mol).
ΔrH = 180.6 kJ.
2) ΔS = 2mol·ΔS(NO) - (ΔS(O₂) + ΔS(N₂)).
ΔS = 2mol · 210.65 J/mol·K - (1mol · 205 J/mol·K + 1 mol · 191.5 J/K·mol).
ΔS = 24.8 J/K.
3) ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
55°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 328.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 172.46 kJ.
2570°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 2843.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 110.09 kJ.
3610°C: ΔG = 180.6 kJ - 3883.15 K · 24.8 J/K = 84.29 kJ.

NEED HELP ASAP NOT DIFFICULT
Burka [1]
Answer- 400 grams of AlCl3 is the maximum amount of AlCl3 produced during the experiment.

Given - Number of moles of Al(NO3)3 - 4 moles
Number of moles of NaCl - 9 moles
Find - Maximum amount of AlCl3 produced during the reaction.
Solution - The complete reaction is - Al(NO3)3 + 3NaCl --> 3NaNO3 + AlCl3
To find the maximum amount of AlCl3 produced during the reaction, we need to find the limiting reagent.
Mole ratio Al(NO3)3 - 4/1 - 4
Mole ratio NaCl - 9/3 - 3
Thus, NaCl is the limiting reagent in the reaction.
Now, 3 moles of NaCl produces 1 mole of AlCl3
9 moles of NaCl will produce - 1/3*9 - 3 moles.
Weight of AlCl3 - 3*133.34 - 400 grams
Thus, 400 grams of AlCl3 is the maximum amount of AlCl3 produced during the experiment.
