Answer:
0.677 moles
Explanation:
Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0
no. of moles = mass / molar mass
no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)
= 0.02256 mol
From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,
meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.
So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.
y = 0.02256 x3
y = 0.0677 mol
If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.
Answer :
(1) pH = 1.27
(2) pH = 13.35
(3) The given solution is not a buffer.
Explanation :
<u>(1) 53.1 mM HCl</u>
Concentration of HCl =
As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.
So, Concentration of hydrogen ion=
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
<u>(2) 0.223 M KOH</u>
Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M
As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.
So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
Now we have to calculate the pH.
<u>(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH</u>
Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.
It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.
As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.
So, the given solution is not a buffer.
