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)

What is the empirical formula of a compound composed of 30.5 g potassium (k) and 6.24 g oxygen (o)?
VLD [36.1K]
K5O2

convert grams to moles, divide both by the smallest mole mass, multiply that until hole.

30.5 g K ÷ 39.10 = .78 mol
6.24 g O ÷ 16 = .39 mol
.78 mol ÷ .39 mol = 2.5
.39 mol ÷ .39 mol = 1
2.5 x 2 = 5
1 x 2 = 2

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia
raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

The four elements that make up about 96% of body matter are ________.
AveGali [126]

An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or divided into simpler substances by any method (physical or chemical). The four common elements in all the living organisms are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.

Thus, the four elements that make up about 96 % of body matter are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen (c).

Answer:

1. not enough dye was added to the drink.

The wrong dye was added to the drink

the water in the drink is evaporating

2. Changing the compound changes the absorbance behavior.

3. Measure the absorbance for the same solution in different cuvette sizes and find the y-intercept.

Explanation:

When the beverage company adds dye to the drink, there should be standard quantity added to the drink so that the color of the drink remains constant. When too much dye is added to the drink, the color will get dark brown or black. When the color of drink get lighter than green this means dye is not added in required quantity.
