Answer:

A. Optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.  

Explanation:

You didn't include the image, but it probably showed light bouncing off the sides as in the diagram below.

It demonstrates how optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.

B is wrong. Satellites communicate by radio waves.

C is wrong. Solar cells convert light energy to  

D is wrong. Power plants transmit electrical energy to homes through copper wires.

Phosphorous acid, h3po3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. calculate the ph f
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Before the addition of KOH :-

Given pKa1 of H3PO3 = 1.30

we know , pKa1 = - log10Ka1

Ka1 = 10-pKa1

Ka1 = 10-1.30

Ka1 = 0.0501

similarly pKa2 = 6.70 ,therefore Ka2 = 1.99 x 10-7

because Ka1 >> Ka2 , therefore pH of diprotic acid i.e H3PO3 can be calculated from first dissociation only .

ICE table is :-

H3PO3 (aq) <-------------> H+ (aq) + H2PO3-(aq)

I 2.4 M 0 M 0 M

C - x + x + x

E (2.4 - x )M x M x M

x = degree of dissociation

Now expression of Ka1 is :

Ka1 = [ H+ ] [ H2PO3-] / [ H3PO3]

0.0501 = x2 / 2.4 - x

on solving for x by using quadratic formula , we have

x = 0.32

Now [ H+ ] = [ H2PO3-] = 0.32 M

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log 0.32

pH = - ( - 0.495)

pH = 0.495

Hence pH before the addition of KOH = 0.495

(b)

After the addition of 25.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.025 L = 0.06 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Now 0.06 moles of KOH is equal to the half of the moles required for the first equivalent point . therefore pH at this point is equal to pKa1 .

Hence pH = 1.30 M

(c)

After the addition of 50.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

because Number of moles of H3PO4 = Number of moles of KOH

therefore , this point is the first equivalence point

and pH = pKa1 + pKa2 / 2

pH = 1.30 + 6.70 / 2

pH = 4.00

Hence pH = 4.00

(d)

After the addition of 75.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.075 L = 0.18 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

This is the half way of the second equivalence point , therefore pH is equal to pKa2 .

Hence pH = 6.70
