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)

What must take place for copper metal to be oxidized?
Oxana [17]
 <span>The copper would go under oxidation since it will be losing two electrons. Copper starts out with an oxidation number of zero, but in order to balance the compound of CuO with the Oxygen having an oxidation number of -2, a positive 2 is required</span>

If 45 mL of water are added to 250 mL of a 0.75 M K2SO4 solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.64M}}

Explanation:

When you form a <em>diluted solution</em> from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.

The main equation is:

Molarity=\dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of the solution in liters}}

Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:

          \text{Molarity mother solution }\times\text{ volume mother solution}=\\\\=\text{Molarity diluted solution }\times\text{ volume diluted solution}

Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:

           250mL\times 0.75M=(45mL+250mL)\times M\\\\\\M=\dfrac{250mL\times 0.75M}{295mL}=0.64M
