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.

Electrons are charged particles. Moving charged particles are a current. There is a current of electrons flowing through a coppe
Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the electrons flow through the wire, <em>electric current </em>is generated around the wire.

Explanation:

The rate of flow of charged particles in a given time is termed as the flow of current. Mostly the charge carriers are termed as electrons in a conductor. So the flow of electrons or movement of charged particles in a given time is the generation of electric current in that current. As the ratio of charge to time at which the charge is moving from one point to another is termed as the current flow in that time.

Current=\frac{Charge}{Time}

Thus, in the present case of electrons flowing in that wire will lead to generating of electric current in the opposite direction around the wire.
