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

docker41 [41]

Answer:

126000J

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

M = 1500g

C = 4.2J/g°C

ΔT = 20°C

Q =?

Q= MCΔT

Q = 1500 x 4.2 x 20 =

Q = 126000J

explain how a metal with one valence electron compares with a metal with more than one valence electron
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.

Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.

An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.

  • Metals generally have large sizes.
  • when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
  • therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
  • Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
  • It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.
