Answer:

D H2PO4– + HPO42–

Explanation:

The acid dissociation constant for \mathbf{H_3PO_4 , H_2PO^{-}_4 ,  HPO_4^{2-}} are \mathbf{7\times 10^{-3}, \ \ 8\times 10^{-8} ,\ \  5\times 10^{-13}} respectively.

\mathbf{pka (H_3PO_4) = -log (7\times 10^{-3} )=2.2}

\mathbf{pka (H_2PO_4^-) = -log (8\times 10^{-8} )=7.1}

\mathbf{pka (HPO_4^{2-}) = -log (5\times 10^{-13} )=12.3}

The reason while option D is the best answer is that, the value of pKa for both

\mathbf{H_2PO^{-}_4 ,\  \& \  HPO_4^{2-}} lies on either side of the desired pH of the buffer. This implies that one is slightly over and the other is slightly under.

Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

\mathbf{pH = pKa + log \Big( \dfrac{HPO_4^{2-}}{H_2PO_4^-} \Big)}

How am I ment to label this diagram
lora16 [44]
I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.

In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.

And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.

A Snickers bar contains 27.0 g of sugars (carbohydrates), 4.0 g of protein and 12.0 g of fat. How many food calories (Cal) are c
amm1812

Answer:

There are 232 calories in the bar

Explanation:

Carbohydrates and protein are both 4 calories per gram, while fat is 9 calories per gram.

27*4=108\\4*4=16\\12*9=108\\108+108+16=232

A flask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is atta
Rashid [163]
Following the Law of Conservation of Mass, you simply add the mass of both substances. Thus, 160 grams + 40 grams = 200 grams. So, even if initially, they are in liquid and solid form, they would still have the same mass even if they change phases, owing to that they are in a closed space.

The na+/k+ pump removes ______ na+ ions and adds _______ k+ ions.
Paladinen [302]

Sodium potassium pump is an active pump which transfer sodium and potassium ions across the membrane with the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP.

This kind of pump is generally used in nerve cells.

The pump works against the concentration gradient as the pump moves three Na+ ions outside the cell and two K+ ions inside the cell, though there is a high concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a low concentration of K+ outside the cell.
