When we can get Pka for K2HPO4 =6.86 so we can determine the Ka :

when Pka = - ㏒ Ka

          6.86 = -㏒ Ka 

∴Ka = 1.38 x 10^-7

by using ICE table:

               H2PO4- →  H+  + HPO4
initial      0.4 m            0         0

change     -X                +X       +X

Equ       (0.4-X)               X          X

when Ka = [H+][HPO4] / [H2PO4-]

by substitution:

1.38 X 10^-7 = X^2 / (0.4-X)   by solving for X

∴X = 2.3x 10^-4 

∴[H+] = X = 2.3 x 10^-4

∴PH = -㏒[H+]

        = -㏒ (2.3 x 10^-4)
 ∴PH  =  3.6

Predict the charge on the monatomic ions formed from the following atoms in binary ionic compounds:(a) |(b) Sr(c) K(d) N(e) S(f)
Pavel [41]

Answer:

(a) I⁻ (charge 1-)

(b) Sr²⁺ (charge 2+)

(c) K⁺ (charge 1+)

(d) N³⁻ (charge 3-)

(e) S²⁻ (charge 2-)

(f) In³⁺ (charge 3+)

Explanation:

To predict the charge on a monoatomic ion we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

(a) |

I has 7 valence electrons so it gains 1 electron to form I⁻ (charge 1-).

(b) Sr

Sr has 2 valence electrons so it loses 2 electrons to form Sr²⁺ (charge 2+).

(c) K

K has 1 valence electron so it loses 1 electron to form K⁺ (charge 1+).

(d) N

N has 5 valence electrons so it gains 3 electrons to form N³⁻ (charge 3-).

(e) S

S has 6 valence electrons so it gains 2 electrons to form S²⁻ (charge 2-).

(f) In

In has 3 valence electrons so it loses 3 electrons to form In³⁺ (charge 3+).

The oxidation numbers of nitrogen in NH3, HNO3, and NO2 are, respectively: -3, -5, +4 +3, +5, +4 -3, +5, -4 -3, +5, +4
Evgesh-ka [11]

In NH3 , let oxidation number of N be x

x + (+1)3 = 0

x = -3

In HNO3 , let oxidation number of N be x

1 + x + (-2)3 = 0

x = +5

In NO2 , let oxidation number of N be x

x + (-2)2 = 0

x = +4

evablogger [386]

Answer:

sublime, melt, condense, deposit

Explanation:

1. When ice is warmed at a steady pressure 0.00512 atm, it will be sublime.  

2. It will be melt when ice is warmed at a consistent pressure of 1 atm.

3. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of 100  C, it will be condense.  

4. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of -50 C, it will be deposited.
