Estimate the ph of the resulting solution prepared by mixing 1.0 mole of solid disodium phosphate (na2hpo4) and 1.25 mole of hyd

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

Given the standard enthalpy changes for the following two reactions:
lawyer [7]

Answer:

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

This case in which the Hess method is applied to compute the required chemical reaction. Thus, we should arrange the given first two reactions as:

(1) it is changed as:

SnCl2(s) --> Sn(s) + Cl2(g)...... ΔH° = 325.1 kJ

That is why the enthalpy of reaction sign is inverted.

(2) remains the same:

Sn(s) + 2Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)......ΔH° = -511.3 kJ

Therefore, by adding them, we obtain the requested chemical reaction:

(3) SnCl2(s) + Cl2(g) --> SnCl4(l)

For which the enthalpy change is:

ΔH° = 325.1 kJ - 511.3 kJ

ΔH° = -186.2 kJ

Best regards.

identify each material as a compound or a mixture. Caffeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed rat
vitfil [10]
Answer: caffeine is a compound.

Explanation:

1) As stated c<span>affeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.

2) The definition of compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of two or more fifferent elements. That means a defined ratio of the elements in the compound, which conferes uniform and equal properties to every part of the compound.

Some examples of compounds are salt (NaCl), water (H2O), vinegard (CH3 COOH).

A mixture combines several elements or compounds, not bonded by chemical bonds but mixed in ratios which may vary.

The ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. in t
Debora [2.8K]

The complete balanced chemical equation is: 
4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g) 

In statement form: 4mol NH3 reacts with 5 mol O2 to produce 6 mol H2O 

First let us find for the limiting reactant: 
>molar mass NH3 = 17 g/mol 
moles NH3 = 54/17 = 3.18 mol NH3 
This will react with 3.18*5/4 = 3.97 mol O2 

>molar mass O2 = 32g/mol 
moles O2 = 54/32 = 1.69 mol O2 
We have insufficient O2 therefore this is the limiting reactant 

From the balanced equation: 
For every 5.0 mol O2, we get 6.0 mol H2O, therefore

moles H2O formed =  1.69 mol O2  * 6/5 = 2.025 mol
Molar mass H2O = 18g/mol 
<span>mass H2O formed = 2.025*18 = 36.45 grams H2O produced</span>
