Answer:

The pH of this solution is 1,350

Explanation:

The phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) has three acid dissociation constants:

HPO₄²⁻ ⇄ PO4³⁻ + H⁺        Kₐ₃ = 4,20x10⁻¹⁰  (1)

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO4²⁻ + H⁺    Kₐ₂ = 6,20x10⁻⁸   (2)

H₃PO₄ ⇄ H₂PO4⁻ + H⁺       Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

The problem says that you have 10,00 mL of KH₂PO₄ (It means H₂PO₄⁻) 0,1000 M and you add 10,00 mL of HCl (Source of H⁺) 0,1000 M. So you can see that we have the reactives of the equation (3).

We need to know what is the concentration of H⁺ for calculate the pH.

The moles of H₂PO₄⁻ are:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

The moles of H⁺ are, in the same way:

10,00 mL × ( 1x10⁻⁴ mol / mL) = 1x10⁻³ mol

So:

H₃PO₄   ⇄      H₂PO4⁻         +        H⁺           Kₐ₁ = 7,50x10⁻³   (3)

X mol     ⇄  (1x10⁻³-X) mol  + (1x10⁻³-X) mol                            (4)

The chemical equilibrium equation is:

Kₐ₁ = ([H₂PO4⁻] × [H⁺] / [H₃PO₄]

So:

7,50x10⁻³ = (1x10⁻³-X)² / X

Solving the equation you will obtain:

X² - 9,5x10⁻³ X + 1x10⁻⁶ = 0

Solving the quadratic formula you obtain two roots:

X = 9,393x10⁻³ ⇒ This one has no chemical logic because solving (4) you will obtain negative H₂PO4⁻ and H⁺ moles

X = 1,065x10⁻⁴

So the moles of H⁺ are : 1x10⁻³- 1,065x10⁻⁴ : 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol

The reaction volume are 20,00 mL (10,00 from both KH₂PO₄ and HCL)

Thus, the molarity of H⁺ ([H⁺]) is: 8,935x10⁻⁴ mol / 0,02000 L = 4,468x10⁻² M

pH is -log [H⁺]. So the obtained pH is 1,350

I hope it helps!

You are working in your laboratory and decide to do some cleaning. You find a test tube with some brown substance congealed at t
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>

Explanation:

<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.

<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.

Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).

The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, ​and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.

The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.

Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.

You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts  producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.

Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>
