Answer:

pKa = 4.89.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>, which states:

pH = pKa + log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

In this case [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium benzoate and [HA] is the concentration of benzoic acid.

We <u>input the given data</u>:

4.63 = pKa + log \frac{0.16}{0.29}

And <u>solve for pKa</u>:

pKa = 4.89

Determine the composition of each phase in a cu-40% ni alloy at 1300c,
Morgarella [4.7K]
To be able to answer this, you need to have a phase diagram of Cu-Ni alloy. Create a vertical line along 40% in the x-axis. Then, create a horizontal line along the temperature at 1,300°C. The intersection lies outside of the α-L boundary. <em>Therefore, the system consist solely of the L-phase: 100% L.</em>

26. Balance the following equations:<br> Ca(s) + H3PO4(aq)Ca3(PO4)2(s) + H2(g)
yKpoI14uk [10]

Hey there!

Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance PO₄.

1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance H.

6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Balance Ca.

1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Our final balanced equation:

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Hope this helps!
