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)}

In the hydrolysis of trimyristin the reaction mixture is heated at about 75℃ for 45 minutes. what is the purpose of heating a re
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is :

the purpose of heating the mixture is to accelerate the reaction and mix the reagent.

The explanation:

Many organic reactions are slow and can take an extended period of time to achieve any noticeable effect so heating is often used to increase the rate of reaction. However, many organic compounds have low boiling points and will vaporise upon exposure to such high heat, preventing the reaction from proceeding in full.

so, heating is used. This refers to heating a solution with an attached condenser to prevent reagents from escaping
