Answer: (A) H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

(B) H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Explanation:

(A) As we know that HCl is a strong acid and when it is added to an aqueous solution then it leads to increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. And, when an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This means that addition of buffer into the given solution will not cause much change in the concentration of H_{3}O^{+} in large amount.

As both the buffer components are salt then they will remain dissociated as follows.

       Na_{2}HPO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq)

 NaH_{2}PO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq)

Hence, net ionic equation will be as follows.

       H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

(B)  When we add small amount of sodium hydroxide into the solution then there will occur an increase in concentration of hydroxide ions into the solution. But then due to the presence of buffer there will occur not much change in concentration and the acid will get converted into salt.

     NaOH(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)

The net ionic equation is as follows.

        H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

__________ could be the formula of an alkene. a. c3h8 b. c2h8 c. c6h6 d. c3h6 e. c17h36
drek231 [11]

The general formula for alkenes is CnH2n, the formula with hydrogen count double the carbon count should be the correct formula for alkene and that is d. C3H6.

What are alkenes?

Alkenes, commonly known as olefins, are organic unsaturated hydrocarbons that have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in their chemical structure and are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with a double bond between the carbon atoms. Carbon atoms are connected by at least one double bond. The general formula for alkenes is C n H 2n. Olefin is frequently substituted with alkenes. The word "olefin" comes from the Greek phrase "olefin gas," which denotes the production of oil.

<u>Since, their general formula is CnH2n, the formula with hydrogen count double the carbon count should be the correct formula for alkene and that is d. C3H6.</u>

Properties of matter with three example each
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Extensive properties vary with the amount of the substance and include mass, weight, and volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature.

Answer:

The second one

Explanation:

Gas pressure is caused by gas molecules bouncing off the container walls and each other. Every time a molecule changes direction because it hits a wall, the change in momentum results in a small push. Due to the large number of molecules involved, the pushes add up to a large amount of pressure.
