The pressure that is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is called

mina [271]

The pressure calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is known as: filtration pressure.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure can be defined as a measure of the force exerted per unit area of an object or body. Thus, it is usually measured in Newton per meter square.

<h3>The types of pressure.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of pressure and these include the following:

Hydrostatic pressure

Atmospheric pressure

Osmotic pressure

Filtration pressure

Filtration pressure is a pressure that is typically calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure. Also, it promotes the filtration of fluid through a membrane.

What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances

belka [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope mass amu Relative abundance

1 77.9 14.4

2 81.9 14.3

3 85.9 71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = $\frac{14.4}{100}=0.144$

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = $\frac{14.3}{100}=0.143$

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = $\frac{71.3}{100}=0.713$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

$\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})$

$A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]$

$A=84.2amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

How many grams of sodium phosphate monobasic would we add to a liter and how many grams of sodium phosphate dibasic would we add

Nostrana [21]

Answer :

The correct answer for Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g and mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 8.23 g

Given : pH = 6.86

Total concentration of Phosphate buffer = 0.1 M

Asked : Mass of Sodium phosphate monobasic (NaH₂PO₄) = ?

Mass of Sodium phosphate dibasic(Na₂HPO₄)= ?

Following steps can be done to find the masses of NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ :

(In phosphate buffer , Na+ ion from NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ acts as spectator ion , so only H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ will be considered )

H₂PO₄⁻ <=> HPO₄²⁻

The above reaction has pka = 7.2 ( from image shown )

<u>Step 2 : Plug values in Hasselbalch- Henderson equation </u>.

Hasselbalch -Henderson equation is to find pH for buffer solution which is as follows :

$pH = pka + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}$

pH = 6.86 pKa = 7.2

$6.86 = 7.2 + log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

Subtracting both side by 7.2

$6.86-7.2 = 7.2 -7.2+ log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

$-0.34 = log \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

Removing log

$10^-^0^.^3^4 = \frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[H_2PO_4^-]}$

$\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457$ ---------------- equation (1)

<u>Step 3 : To find molarity of H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻</u>

Total concentration of buffer = [H₂PO₄⁻] + [HPO₄²⁻] = 0.1 M

Hence, [H₂PO₄⁻ ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 M

Assume [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

So , [x ] + [ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Step 4 : Plugging value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ] and [ HPO₄²⁻ ]

[H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

Equation (1) = > $\frac{[HPO_4^2^-]}{[ H_2PO_4^-]} = 0.457$

Plug value of [H₂PO₄⁻ ] and [ HPO₄²⁻ ] ( from step 3 ) into equation (1) as :

$\frac{[0.1 - x ]}{[ x]} = 0.457$

Cross multiplying

$0.1 - x = 0.457 x$

Adding x on both side

$0.1 -x + x = 0.457 x + x$

$0.1 = 1.457 x$

Dividing both side by 1.457

$\frac{0.1}{1.457} = \frac{1.457 x }{1.457}$

x = 0.0686 M

Hence , [H₂PO₄⁻ ] = x = 0.0686 M

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - x

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.1 - 0.0686

[ HPO₄²⁻ ] = 0.0314 M

Step 5 : To find moles of H₂PO₄⁻ ( NaH₂PO₄) and HPO₄²⁻ (Na₂HPO₄ ) .

Molarity is defined as mole of solute per 1 L volume of solution .

Molarity of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 M or 0.0686 mole per 1 L

Molarity of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 M or 0.0314 mole per 1 L

Since that volume of buffer solution is 1 L , so Molarity = mole

Hence Mole of NaH₂PO₄ = 0.0686 mol

Mole of Na₂HPO₄ = 0.0314 mol

Moles of Na₂HPO₄ and NaH₂PO₄ can be converted to their masses using molar mass as follows :

Molar mass of Na₂HPO₄ = $141.96 \frac{g}{mol}$

Molar mass of NaH₂PO₄ = $119.98 \frac{g}{mol}$

$Mass (g) = mole (mol)* molar mass(\frac{g}{mol})$

$Mass of Na_2HPO_4 = 0.0314 mol * 141.96 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of Na₂HPO₄ = 4.457 g

$Mass of NaH_2PO_4 = 0.0686 mol * 119.98 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of NaH₂PO₄ = 8.23 g
