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.

6. Identify the number of neutrons in one atom of silicon with an isotopic mass number of 28 amu.
Sholpan [36]

14

Explanation:

The number of neutrons in one atom of silicon with an isotopic mass number of 28amu is 14.

An atom is made up three fundamental sub-atomic particles which are:

  Protons, neutron and electrons

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are the negatively charged particles.

In the nucleus of an atom, both protons and neutrons can be found. They are the massive particle in an atom.

  The mass number of an atom = number of protons + number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.

From the periodic table, we know that silicon has an atomic number of 14.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom:

         Number of neutrons = 28 - 14 = 14amu

In the atom, we will have 14amu of neutrons in a silicon atom.

Using principles of atomic structure, explain why the atomic radius of Te is less than the ionic radius of Te2− . Photoelectron
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us recall that a negative ion is formed by addition of electrons to an atom. When electrons are added to the atom, greater interelectronic repulsion increases the size of the Te^2− hence it is greater in size than Te atom. Therefore, the ionic radius of Te^2− is greater than the atomic radius of Te.

In the second question, oxygen is positioned so far to the right because it has a far smaller nuclear charge compared to Te. Hence in the PES spectrum, the 1s sublevel of oxygen lies far to the right of that of Te.

A gas mixture at 535.0°C and 109 kPa absolute enters a heat exchanger at a rate of 67.0 m3/hr. The gas leaves the heat exchanger
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the heat rate required to cool down the gas from 535°C until 215°C is -2.5 kW.

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour:

PV=nRT

therefore

P= 109 Kpa= 1.07575 atm

V= 67 m3/hr = 18.6111 L/s

T= 215 °C = 488 K

R = 0.082 atm L /mol K

n = PV/RT = 109 Kpa = 1.07575 atm * 18.611 L/s /(0.082 atm L/mol K * 488 K)

n= 0.5 mol/s

since the changes in kinetic and potencial energy are negligible, the heat required is equal to the enthalpy change of the gas:

Q= n* Δh = 0.5 mol/s * (- 5 kJ/mol) =2.5 kW
