<u>Answer:</u> The amount of Iodine-131 remain after 39 days is 0.278 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 8.04 days

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{8.04days}=0.0862days^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.0862days^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 39 days

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 8.0 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0862=\frac{2.303}{39}\log\frac{8.0}{[A]}

[A]=0.278g

Hence, the amount of Iodine-131 remain after 39 days is 0.278 grams

For Na2HPO4:(( (Note that for H3PO4, ka1= 6.9x10-3, ka2 = 6.4x10-8, ka3 = 4.8x10-13 ) a) The active anion is H2PO4- b) The activ
Komok [63]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Answer – Given, H_3PO_4 acid and there are three Ka values

K_{a1}=6.9x10^8, K_{a2} = 6.2X10^8, and K_{a3}=4.8X10^{13}

The transformation of H_2PO_4- (aq) to HPO_4^2-(aq)is the second dissociation, so we need to use the Ka2 = 6.2x10-8 in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Mass of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g , mass of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g , volume = 1.00 L

First we need to calculate moles of each

Moles of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g / 136.08 g.mol-1

                             = 0.162 moles

Moles of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g /141.96 g.mol-1

                             = 0.225 moles

[H2PO4-] = 0.162 moles / 1.00 L = 0.162 M

[HPO42-] = 0.225 moles / 1.00 L = 0.225 M

Now we need to calculate the pKa2

pKa2 = -log Ka

       = -log 6.2x10-8

       = 7.21

We know Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

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

pH = 7.21 + log 0.225 / 0.162

     = 7.35

The pH of a buffer solution obtained by dissolving 22.0 g of KH2PO4 and 32.0 g of Na2HPO4 in water and then diluting to 1.00 L is 7.35
