There is an increase in the frequency of particle collisions which leads to the increased rate of the reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydrochloric acid reacts faster with the powdered zinc than with the equal mass of zinc strips.

Since the surface area of the Zinc particle increases when it is powdered and has more active spots when compared to less number of active sites in Zinc strips and so the number of collision between the Zinc particles and the particles of Hydrochloric acid also increases and consequently the rate of the reaction also enhances.

So there is an increase in the frequency of particle collisions.

5. Write a net ionic equation that occurs in a Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4 buffer solution when: A) a small amount of HCl is added (2 points

labwork [276]

Answer: (A) $H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

(B) $H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

Explanation:

(A) As we know that HCl is a strong acid and when it is added to an aqueous solution then it leads to increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. And, when an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This means that addition of buffer into the given solution will not cause much change in the concentration of $H_{3}O^{+}$ in large amount.

As both the buffer components are salt then they will remain dissociated as follows.

$Na_{2}HPO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq)$

$NaH_{2}PO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq)$

Hence, net ionic equation will be as follows.

$H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$

(B) When we add small amount of sodium hydroxide into the solution then there will occur an increase in concentration of hydroxide ions into the solution. But then due to the presence of buffer there will occur not much change in concentration and the acid will get converted into salt.

$NaOH(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

The net ionic equation is as follows.

$H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$
