As mentioned above, phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values, and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:
H₃PO₄(aq)
+ H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq) pKₐ₁
<span>
</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq) pKₐ₂
HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) pKₐ₃
At the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid, the last OH group will lose its hydrogen. On the picture I attached, it is shown required protonated form of phosphoric acid before reaction whose pKa value is 12.4.
Answer:
a. 59 m/atm
Explanation:
- To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
- <em>Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.</em>
- It can be expressed as: C = KP,
C is the concentration of the solution (C = 1.3 M).
P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution (P = 0.022 atm).
K is the Henry's law constant (K = ??? M/atm),
∵ C = KP.
∴ K = C/P = (1.3 M)/(0.022 atm) = 59.0 M/atm.
Answer:
Phosphorus cycle
Explanation:
Biogeochemical cycle, any of the natural pathways by which essential elements of living matter are circlated.
There are four types of biogeochemical cycle, they are ; water cycle,carbon cycle,nitrogen cycle and phosphorous cycle
Carbon cycle is the cycle in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place.
Water cycle involves transpiration.
Nitrogen cycle Is the cycle that is dependent upon bacteria for nitrogen fixation and denitrification.
Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest biogeochemical cycle. It does not stay in the atmosphere, because it is normally in a liquid state at room temperature. It does not include the atmosphere.
