D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

(3) A 10.00-mL sample of 0.1000 M KH2PO4 was titrated with 0.1000 M HCl Ka for phosphoric acid (H3PO4): Ka1= 7.50x10-3; Ka2=6.20
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The pH of this solution is 1,350

Explanation:

The phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) has three acid dissociation constants:

HPO₄²⁻ ⇄ PO4³⁻ + H⁺        Kₐ₃ = 4,20x10⁻¹⁰  (1)

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO4²⁻ + H⁺    Kₐ₂ = 6,20x10⁻⁸   (2)

H₃PO₄ ⇄ H₂PO4⁻ + H⁺       Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

The problem says that you have 10,00 mL of KH₂PO₄ (It means H₂PO₄⁻) 0,1000 M and you add 10,00 mL of HCl (Source of H⁺) 0,1000 M. So you can see that we have the reactives of the equation (3).

We need to know what is the concentration of H⁺ for calculate the pH.

The moles of H₂PO₄⁻ are:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

The moles of H⁺ are, in the same way:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

So:

H₃PO₄   ⇄      H₂PO4⁻         +        H⁺           Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

X mol     ⇄  (1x10⁻³-X) mol  + (1x10⁻³-X) mol                            (4)

The chemical equilibrium equation is:

Kₐ₁ = ([H₂PO4⁻] × [H⁺] / [H₃PO₄]

So:

7,50x10⁻³ = (1x10⁻³-X)² / X

Solving the equation you will obtain:

X² - 9,5x10⁻³ X + 1x10⁻⁶ = 0

Solving the quadratic formula you obtain two roots:

X = 9,393x10⁻³ ⇒ This one has no chemical logic because solving (4) you will obtain negative H₂PO4⁻ and H⁺ moles

X = 1,065x10⁻⁴

So the moles of H⁺ are : 1x10⁻³- 1,065x10⁻⁴ : 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol

The reaction volume are 20,00 mL (10,00 from both KH₂PO₄ and HCL)

Thus, the molarity of H⁺ ([H⁺]) is: 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol / 0,02000 L = 4,468x10⁻² M

pH is -log [H⁺]. So the obtained pH is 1,350

I hope it helps!

What is the density of a cube of water measuring 2cmX4cmX1cm, with a mass of<br> 8g?
Vinil7 [7]

The actual formula for volume for a cube is the length multiplied by the width and then multiplied by the height. Since all three measurements are the same, the formula results in the measurement of one side cubed. For the example, 5^3 is 125 cm^3. Multiply the volume by the known density, which is the mass per volume.
