A buffer is made by dissolving H3PO4 and NaH2PO4 in water.

Chemistry

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)

The 225 g FeCl2 is about 1.8 moles.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4 \frac{mol}{l}

Explanation:

From the question, we have been asked to find the molarity of FeCl2 having a volume of 450 mL,

We have been provided with 225 g which is proportional to 1.8 moles.

We know that molarity of any solution should be in mol/L.

1 mole contained in 1 L means it has a molarity of 1 mol/L

Let's convert 450 mL to Litres which is,

\frac{450}{1000} litres

= 0.450 L

Thus,

1 mole is contained in 1L

x moles are contained in 0.450 L

Hence,

x mole/molarity = {1 mole x 1 L}/{0.450 L}

= 4 mol/L

Therefore 4 mol/L is the molar concentration.
