You decided to prepare a phosphate buffer from solid sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2H

PO4)and you need 1L of the buffer at pH 7.00 with a total phosphate concentration(NaH2PO4+ Na2HPO4) of 0.100 M. Hint:Phosphoric acid (H3PO4), a triprotic acid, has 3 pKa values: 2.14, 6.86, and12.4. Determine the weight in grams of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4;138g/mol) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4;142g/mol) needed to prepare this buffer.

Answer:

For disodium hydrogen phosphate:

5.32g Na2HPO4

For sodium dihydrogen phosphate:

7.65g Na2HPO4

Explanation:

First, you have to put all the data from the problem that you going to use:

-NaH2PO4 (weak acid)

-Na2HPO4 (a weak base)

-Volume = 1L

-Buffer pH = 7.00

-Concentration of [NaH2PO4 + Na2HPO4] = 0.100 M

What we need to find the pKa of the weak acid, in this case NaH2PO4, for that you need to find the Ka (acid constant) of NaH2PO4, and for this we use the pKa of the phosphoric acid as follow:

H3PO4 = H2PO4 + H+    pKa1 = 2.14

H2PO4 = HPO4 + H+       pKa2 = 6.86

HPO4 = PO4 + H+      pKa3 = 12.4

So, for the preparation of buffer, you need to use the pKa that is near to the value of the pH that you want, so the choice will be:

pKa2= 6.86

Now we going to use the Henderson Hasselbalch equation for the pH of a buffer solution:

pH = pKa2 + log [(NaH2PO4)/(Na2HPO4)]

The solution of the problem is attached to this answer.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

when you use punnett squares, you cross the different genes with themselves. if T is in the first box on both sides, the genome will be TT. if the box lines up to tt, it will be tt. the boxes on the left use the genes' first letter and the boxes on the right use the second letter.

Sample A: 300 mL of 1M sodium chloride
yarga [219]

Answer:

sample B contains the larger density

Explanation:

Given;

volume of sample A, V = 300 mL = 0.3 L

Molarity of sample A, C = 1 M

volume of sample B, V = 145 mL = 0.145 L

Molarity of sample B, C = 1.5 M

molecular mass of sodium chloride, Nacl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Molarity is given as;

C = \frac{moles \ of \ solute, \ mol}{liters \ of \ solvent} \\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ A = 1 \times 0.3 = 0.3 \ mol\\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ B = 1.5 \times 0.145 = 0.2175 \ mol

The reacting mass for sample A = 0.3mol x  58.5 g/mol = 17.55 g

The reacting mass for sample B = 0.2175 mol x 58.5 g/mol = 12.72 g

The density of sample A  = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{17.55}{0.3} = 58.5 \ g/L

The density of sample B = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{12.72}{0.145} = 87.72 \ g/L

Therefore, sample B contains the larger density
