Answer:

A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.

Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.

For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:

KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄

Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:

Describe the protons, electrons, and neutrons of an atom of hydrogen-2.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

However, various hydrogen isotopes, such as H-2, have one proton and one neutron; H-3 has one proton and two neutrons, etc. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is its atomic mass. Thus, the atomic mass of the H-2 isotope is two, the atomic mass of the H-3 isotope is three, and so forth.

What volume of 0.194 MNa3PO4 solution is necessary to completely react with 85.5 mL of 0.109 MCuCl2 ?
ira [324]

Answer:

35.9 ml

Explanation:

Start with the balanced equation:

3CuCl2(aq)+2Na3PO4(aq)→Cu3(PO4)2(s)+6NaCl(aq)

This tells us that 3 moles of CuCI2 react with 2 moles Na3PO4-

∴  1 mole CuCl2 will react with 2/3 moles Na3PO4

We know that concentration = moles/volume i.e:

c= n/v

∴n=c×v

∴nCuCl2=0.107×91.01000=9.737×10−3

I divided by 1000 to convert ml to L

∴nNa3PO4=9.737×10−3×23=6.491×10−3

v=nc=6.491×10−30.181=35.86×10−3L

∴v=35.86ml

Which of the following is a possible set of quantum numbers for an electron (n,l,m0,ms) ?
Mashutka [201]

Answer is: (3, 2, 0, -1/2).

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

For principal quantum number n=3:  

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:  

l = 0, 1, 2.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.  

ml = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.  

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.  

ms = +1/2, -1/2.  

(1, 1, 0, +1/2)  is not correct because orbital quantum number cannot be l = 1 for n = 1.

(2, 1, 2, +1/2)  is not correct because magnetic quantum number cannot be ml = 2 for orbital quantum number l = 1.

(3, -2, 1, -1/2) is not correct because orbital quantum number cannot be l = -2 for principal quantum number n = 3.
