You are instructed to create 900. mL of a 0.29 M phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.8. You have phosphoric acid and the sodium salt

s NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4, and Na3PO4 available. (Enter all numerical answers to three significant figures.)
H3PO4(s) + H2O(l) <----> H3O+(aq) + H2PO4−(aq) Ka1 = 6.9 ✕ 10−3
H2PO4−(aq) + H2O(l) <----> H3O+(aq) + HPO42−(aq) Ka2 = 6.2 ✕ 10−8
HPO42−(aq) + H2O(l) <----> H3O+(aq) + PO43−(aq) Ka3 = 4.8 ✕ 10−13

Which of the available chemicals will you use for the acid component of your buffer?

A. H3PO4
B. NaH2PO4
C. Na2HPO4
D. Na3PO4

Which of the available chemicals will you use for the base component of your buffer?

A. H3PO4B. NaH2PO4C. Na2HPO4D. Na3PO4

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the <u>pKa closer to the desired pH value</u>. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:

pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16

pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20

pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31

The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which  H_2PO_4^-^1 is the <u>acid</u> and HPO_4^-^2 is the <u>base</u>. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.

Difference between emprical and molecular formula
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atom whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule.

A drop of water with a mass of 0.48 g is vaporized at 100 ∘C and condenses on the surface of a 55- g block of aluminum that is i
bagirrra123 [75]

The final temperature in Celsius of the metal block is 49°C.

<h3>How to find the number of moles ?</h3>

Moles water = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

                     = \frac{0.48\ g}{18\ \text{g/mol}}

                     = 0.0266 moles  

                   

Heat lost by water = 0.0266 mol x 44.0 kJ/mol

                                = 1.17 kJ

                                = 1170 J           [1 kJ = 1000 J]

Heat lost = Heat gained

Heat gained by aluminum = 1170 J  

1170 = 55 x 0.903 (T - 25) = 49.7 T - 1242  

1170 + 1242 = 49.7 T  

T = 48.5°C (49°C at two significant figures)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The final temperature in Celsius of the metal block is 49°C.

A truck traveled at a constant speed for 6 hours. Then, it
gavmur [86]

Answer:

2.4 hrs

Explanation:

The constant speed of the truck for 6 hrs can be calculated by: speed=distance/time. Speed =(876-228)/6=648/6=108m/s. So the decreased speed = (108-13)=95m/h. Now, speed =distance /time We get 95m/h = 228/t. t=228/95 hrs = 2.4 hrs PLEASE MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST!!
