Answer:

$mass \: of \: CO _{2} = (12 + (16 \times 2)) = 44 \: g \\ mass \: of \: oxygen \: in \: CO _{2} = (16 \times 2) = 32 \\ \% \: of \: oxygen = \frac{32}{44} \times 100\% \\ = 72.7\%$

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

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,

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