Answer:

The addition of hydronium ion increases the solubility of the salt

Explanation:

When a weak acid, MA dissociates in an aqueous solution, the following products in equilibrium are obtained;

MA ----> M+ + A-

The anion which is a conjugate base will be removed from the solution with the addition of a hydronium ion from an acid: 2H3O+ + 2A- ----> 2HA + 2H20

This distorts the reaction equilibrium. According to Le Chatelier’s principle, more MA will dissolve until in order to restore the previous equilibrium of the reaction.

Therefore, an acidic pH increases the solubility of almost all sparingly soluble salts whose anion is the conjugate base of a weak acid.

What is the pH of a mixture of 0.042 M NaH2PO4 and 0.058 M Na2HPO4? Hint: The pKa of phosphate is 6.86.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The pH value of the mixture will be 7.00

Explanation:

Mono and disodium hydrogen phosphate mixture act as a buffer to maintain pH value around 7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH value of a buffer mixture, which is mathematically expressed as,

pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]})

According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow

pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})

The base and acid are assigned by observing the pKa values of both the compounds; smaller value means more acidic. NaH₂PO₄ has a pKa value of 6.86, while Na₂HPO₄ has a pKa value of 12.32 (not given, but it's a constant). Another more easy way is to the count the acidic hydrogen in the molecular formula; the compound with more acidic hydrogens will be assigned acidic and vice versa.

Placing all the given data we obtain,

pH=6.86 + log(\frac{0.058}{0.042})

pH=7.00

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

A solution is prepared by diluting 6.0 mL of a 7.6 x 10-4 g/mL solution to a total volume
MissTica

Answer:

4.56 X 10^ -4 g/mL

Explanation:

A solution is  prepared by diluting 6.0 mL of a 7.6 x 10-4 g/mL solution to a total volume of 10.0 mL. Calculate the concentration of the dilute solution.

(7.6 X10^-4  gm/m L) x( 6.0 m L ) = 45.6 X 10^-4 g

this is dissolved )in 10 m L=45.6 X 10^-4  g/ 10

4.56 X 10^ -4 g/mL

check

6/10 =0.6

4.56/7.6 = o.,6
