One major significant geographical feature that sailors during the Age of Exploration noticed were that the Eastern coastline of South America, fits like a puzzle to the Western coast of Africa. Furthermore, this observation firmly supported the Continental Drift theory of the origin of Earth's continents.

What is the pH of a solution of 0.800 M KH2PO4, potassium dihydrogen phosphate?
Nookie1986 [14]
KH₂PO₄ hydrolyzes as;
H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O ↔ H₃PO₄ + OH⁻
Let x amount of H₂PO₄⁻ has reacted with water then,
Kb₁ = [H₃PO₄][OH⁻] / [H₂PO₄⁻]
[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.8-x M
Kb₁ = x² / (0.8 - x)
Given Ka₁ = 7.5 x 10⁻³
so Kb₁ = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / (7.5 x 10⁻³) = 1.33 x 10⁻¹²
From this information:
1.33 x 10⁻¹² = x² / 0.8
x = [OH⁻] = 1.03 x 10⁻⁶ M
pOH = - log (1.03 x 10⁻⁶) = 5.99
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.99 = 8.01

Why are these graphs misleading
ch4aika [34]
Although there isn’t a picture a graph can be misleading when it doesn’t start at zero, it doesn’t give accurate information, it skips too many numbers, the vertical scale is too big or too small. Hope this helps

An ionic compound is composed of the following elements:
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: N3 H12 P O3

Explanation:

From the question :

N = 31.57% H = 9.10% P = 23.27%

O= 36.06%

Divide each of the element by their respective relative atomic masses.

N = 31.57 / 14 = 2.26

H = 9.10/ 1 = 9.10

P = 23.27 / 31= 0.750

O =36.06 / 16 = 2.25

Divide each answer by the lowest of them all, we then have:

N = 2.26/ 0.750 = Approx = 3

H = 9.10 / 0.750 = Approx = 12

P = 0.750/ 0.750= 1

O = 2.25 / 0.750 = Approx = 3

The empiral formula is

N3 H12 P O3

Jacob carelessly added only 40.0 mL (instead of the recommended 50.0 mL) of 1.1 M HCl to the 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH. Explain the
Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

mole of NaOH present = molarity x volume

                                     = 1.0 X 0.05 = 0.05 mole

<em>Recommended mole of HCl </em>= 1.1 x 0.05 = 0.055

<em>Mole of HCl carelessly added by Jacob </em>= 1.1 x 0.04 = 0.044

From the equation of reaction:

HCl + NaOH ----> NaCl + H2O

The ratio of mole of HCl to that of NaOH for a complete neutralization reaction is 1:1. However, the recommended mole of HCl (0.055 mole) is more than the mole of NaOH (0.05 mole). <u>Hence, the recommended endpoint of the reaction is supposed to be acidic.</u>

The mole of HCl added by Jacob (0.044) is short of the recommended amount (0.055) and also short of the amount required for a neutral endpoint (0.05). <u>This means that the endpoint will have an excess amount of NaOH and as such, basic instead of the desired acidic endpoint.</u>
