Answer:

a. <em>NaH₂PO₄(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₃PO₄(aq) + Na⁺(aq)</em>

b. <em>H₃PO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)</em>

Explanation:

A buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

a. Added acid will react with NaH₂PO₄ (Conjugate base) thus:

<em>NaH₂PO₄(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₃PO₄(aq) + Na⁺(aq)</em>

When all <em>NaH₂PO₄ </em>reacts, the solution will have just <em>H₃PO₄ </em>and the buffer lose its capacity.

b. In the same way, added base will react with H₃PO₄ (weak acid), thus:

<em>H₃PO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)</em>

Also, when all <em>H₃PO₄ </em>reacts, the solution will have just <em>H₂PO₄⁻ </em>and the buffer lose its capacity.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

(a) H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻(aq) ⟶ H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

(b) OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) ⟶ 2H₂O(ℓ)

Explanation:

The equation for your buffer equilibrium is:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq)+ H₂PO₄⁻(aq)

(a) Adding H₃O⁺

The hydronium ions react with the basic dihydrogen phosphate ions.

H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻(aq) ⟶ H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

(b) Adding OH⁻

The OH⁻ ions react with the more acidic hydronium ions.

OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) ⟶ 2H₂O(ℓ)

Does spring and Fall exist at the poles?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Winter) 6 months later. In between these, Spring and Autumn will occur. The North pole always points the same way as the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Knowing the gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s what is your weight?
wariber [46]
Weight varies dramatically if we leave earths surface.On the moon for example acceleration due to gravity is only 1.67m/s2 A 1.0-kg mass thus has a weight of 9.8 N on Earth and only about 1.7 N on the moon

How much calcium can be recovered from 75.0g of calcium fluoride
7nadin3 [17]

38.46g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of CaF₂ = 75.0g

Unknown:

Mass of calcium that can be recovered = ?

Solution:

This is a mass percentage problem and we need to solve it accordingly.

To solve this problem;

Find the molar mass of  CaF₂

Find the ratio between the molar mass of Ca and that of  CaF₂

Multiply by the given mass

Molar mass of  CaF₂ = 40 + (2 x 19) = 78g/mol

Mass of calcium = \frac{40}{78} x 75 = 38.46g
