The molar ratio of HPO42- to H2PO4- in a solution is 1.4. Calculate the pH of the solution. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a triprot
1 answer:
Given is the ratio of conjugate base and conjugate acid of phosphoric acid. pH of a substance is the concentration of the hydrogen ions in its solution and higher this concentration lower is the value of pH.
pKa value is a measure of the strength of acid, it is the negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka.

Answer:
20619.4793 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:
Where,
is the half life
k is the rate constant.
Thus rate constant is:
5730 years=ln(2)/k
k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹
Using integrated rate law as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:
So,
ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t
<u> t = 20619.4793 years</u>
