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)

Below is a bar graph on candy allowance compared to the child's happiness.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

There is no bar graph attached to this question, however, the question can be answered based on the information given in the question.

The answer is A) average level of happiness

Explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable which is measured by the experimenter. It is the variable that responds to changes made to another variable called independent variable.

In the case of this question, it can be determined, even without the bar graph, that the experiment entails how candy allowance affects a child's happiness. Hence, the candy allowance is changed to influence or cause a response in the child's happiness, which is then measured. Therefore, the AVERAGE LEVEL OF HAPPINESS is the dependent variable.

Explain how it is possible for 10 grams of methane fuel to burn and emit 27 grams of carbon dioxide. Discuss whether or not this
Rufina [12.5K]

This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

In the burning reaction, methane (CH₄) react with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O):

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now we calculate the number of moles of methane and carbon dioxide:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of methane = 10 / 16.04 = 0.62 moles

number of moles of carbon dioxide = 27 / 44.01 = 0.61 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of methane produces 1 moles of carbon dioxide so 0.6 moles of methane produces 0.6 mole of carbon dioxide. This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
