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)

White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.

How many grams of ca are needed to react completely with 2.20 L of a 4.50 m hcl solution
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂

c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l

n(HCl)=cv

m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2

m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2

m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g

198 grams of Ca are needed
