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)}

A helium balloon has a volume of 2.00L at 101kpa. As the balloon rises the pressure drops to 97.0kPa. What is the new volume?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

2.08L

Explanation:

V1 = 2.00L

P1 = 101kPa

P2 = 97.0kPa

V2 = ?

from Boyle's law,

P1V1 = P2V2

101 × 2 = 97 × V2

V2 = 202/97 = 2.08L

Therefore, the new volume is 2.08L
