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]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%29)
According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow
![pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BNa_%7B2%7DHPO_%7B4%7D%20%5D%7D%7B%5BNaH_%7B2%7DPO_%7B4%7D%5D%7D%29)
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,
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.
6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.
0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43
