BASE: A substance that donates a lone pair of electrons

When we can get Pka for K2HPO4 =6.86 so we can determine the Ka :
when Pka = - ㏒ Ka
6.86 = -㏒ Ka
∴Ka = 1.38 x 10^-7
by using ICE table:
H2PO4- → H+ + HPO4
initial 0.4 m 0 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.4-X) X X
when Ka = [H+][HPO4] / [H2PO4-]
by substitution:
1.38 X 10^-7 = X^2 / (0.4-X) by solving for X
∴X = 2.3x 10^-4
∴[H+] = X = 2.3 x 10^-4
∴PH = -㏒[H+]
= -㏒ (2.3 x 10^-4)
∴PH = 3.6
Flourine.
You are very welcome
Explanation:
The molecules in the solute and solvent are only able to make dispersion forces with each other (as they aren't both polar). This only releases very little energy. Therefore overall, more energy is required than released and hence they won't mix.
