When we can get Pka for K2HPO4 =6.86 so we can determine the Ka :

when Pka = - ㏒ Ka

          6.86 = -㏒ Ka 

∴Ka = 1.38 x 10^-7

by using ICE table:

               H2PO4- →  H+  + HPO4
initial      0.4 m            0         0

change     -X                +X       +X

Equ       (0.4-X)               X          X

when Ka = [H+][HPO4] / [H2PO4-]

by substitution:

1.38 X 10^-7 = X^2 / (0.4-X)   by solving for X

∴X = 2.3x 10^-4 

∴[H+] = X = 2.3 x 10^-4

∴PH = -㏒[H+]

        = -㏒ (2.3 x 10^-4)
 ∴PH  =  3.6

If the order of a reaction with the regard to reagent A is 2, when the concentration of A doubles, the rate will
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Rate will double

Explanation:

Since the concentration of A is doubling the rate of reaction will also double, since in this scenario concentration is proportional to rate of reaction. So if the concentration of A were to triple the rate of reaction would also triple.

What is the difference between energy levels, sub levels, and orbitals?
Lorico [155]

Explanation:

Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of containing an electron. ... The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

       ₂₂Ti

        ₂₃V¹⁺

        ₂₄Cr²⁺

A voltaic cell is constructed using the following half-reactions: Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s) EoAg+ = +0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---&
Anton [14]
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) →  Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻     E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s)     E⁰ = +0.80 V 
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
            = 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V
