The HCl added = 1.25 moles

and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole

Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4

One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4

Na2HPO4  + H+  ---> NaH2PO4

Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of  H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution

So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4

NaH2PO4  + H+  ---> H3PO4

pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1

so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58

so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2

Write a covalent compound formed by nitrogen and oxygen. what is its Lewis structure​
iragen [17]

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.
