Calculate the ph of a solution containing 0.0451 m potassium hydrogen tartrate and 0.028 m dipotassium tartrate. The ka values f

or tartaric acid are 9.20 × 10-4 (ka1) and 4.31 × 10-5 (ka2).

Given buffer:

potassium hydrogen tartrate/dipotassium tartrate (KHC4H4O6/K2C4H4O6 )

[KHC4H4O6] = 0.0451 M

[K2C4H4O6] = 0.028 M

Ka1 = 9.2 *10^-4

Ka2 = 4.31*10^-5

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation;

pH = pKa + log [conjugate base]/[acid]

where pka = -logKa

In this case we will use the ka corresponding to the deprotonation of the second proton i.e. ka2

pH = -log Ka2 + log [K2C4H4O6]/[KHC4H4O6]

     = -log (4.31*10^-5) + log [0.0451]/[0.028]

pH = 4.15

20 POINTS 2 QUESTIONS CAN YOU ANSWER THEM ???
olasank [31]
The correct options are as follows:
1. A.
A synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more reactants combine together to form only one product. Synthesis reaction always release energy in form of light and heat, therefore, they are usually exothermic reactions. In the option given in A, nitrogen and nitrogen combine together to form ammonia; this  is a synthesis reaction.
2. D
A radioactive half life refers to the amount of time it will take for half of an original radioactive isotope to decay. 
In the question given above, the half life of the element is 1000. Thus, in 1000 years only half of the original amount will remain. In another 1000 years only 1/4 of the original amount will remain and in another 1000 years only 1/8 of the original amount will remain. Therefore, it will take 3 half lives before 1/8 of the original sample remain.<span />

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
