What is the pH of a mixture of 0.042 M NaH2PO4 and 0.058 M Na2HPO4? Hint: The pKa of phosphate is 6.86.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The pH value of the mixture will be 7.00

Explanation:

Mono and disodium hydrogen phosphate mixture act as a buffer to maintain pH value around 7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH value of a buffer mixture, which is mathematically expressed as,

$pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]})$

According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow

$pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})$

The base and acid are assigned by observing the pKa values of both the compounds; smaller value means more acidic. NaH₂PO₄ has a pKa value of 6.86, while Na₂HPO₄ has a pKa value of 12.32 (not given, but it's a constant). Another more easy way is to the count the acidic hydrogen in the molecular formula; the compound with more acidic hydrogens will be assigned acidic and vice versa.

Placing all the given data we obtain,

$pH=6.86 + log(\frac{0.058}{0.042})$

$pH=7.00$

The answer should be A, flammability.

The isotopes of the same element would result in the same chemical properties, as the number of protons and electrons are not changed, meanwhile, the physical properties would be slightly different with each other because they have different numbers of electrons.

Out of the 4 options, only option A is a chemical property. Chemical properties are the properties of an element reacting with other substances that creates new substances at the end. While physical properties are the ones that does not produces new substances or any reactions. They are usually observable and measurable.

Therefore, since flammability is a chemical property, the answer is A.
