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.

Adding more than one equivalent of HCl to pent-1-yne will lead to which product:______.
Ket [755]

Answer:

c. 2,2-dichloropentane.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly draw the structure of the reactant, pent-1-yne:

CH\equiv C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2

Now, we infer the halogen is added to the carbon atom with the most carbon atoms next to it, in this case, carbon #2, in order to write the following product:

CH\equiv C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2+2HCl\rightarrow CH_3- CCl_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2

Whose name is 2,2-dichloropentane.

Regards!

Which is associated with a fission reaction? *
podryga [215]

Answer: Radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear fission reaction consists of heavy atomic particles or heavy nucleus, like plutonium and uranium and in radioactive heavy metals. In the fission reaction the nucleus get split into equal masses of particles. This process is associated with release of large amount of energy. The fission of radioactive waste can cause deadly mutations in living beings.
