it's true. answer is B.

a hypothesis is a stage before formation of theory. so when we put forward a hypothesis to prove something (in scientific observation) it can be proven true with the experiments conducted.

but of course it's can be proven wrong too, after the experiments conducted. then it is disregard.

a proven hypothesis (a true hypothesis)is the reason for theories.

) Do you think the pH of 1,0 M tri-methyl ammonium (CH3)3NH+, pKa = 9.80, will be higher or lower than that of 1.0 M phenol, C6H

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).

2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.

Explanation:

1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}])$

First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.

<u>Trimethyl ammonium</u>:

We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:

(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O → (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[(CH_{3})_{3}N][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}]}$

$10^{-pKa} = \frac{x*x}{1.0 - x}$

$10^{-9.80}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

By solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(0.097) = 1.01$

<u>Phenol</u>:

C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x x x

$Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}O^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}OH]}$

$10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{1.0 - x}$

$1.0 \cdot 10^{-10}(1.0 - x) - x^{2} = 0$

Solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

$pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log(9.99 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.00$

Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.

2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:

$\Delta pH = pH_{C_{6}H_{5}OH} - pH_{(CH_{3})_{3}NH^{+}} = 5.00 - 1.01 = 4.95$

Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.

I hope it helps you!

In the cathode ray tube experiment, J. J. Thomson passed an electric current through different gases inside a cathode ray tube i

Ber [7]

It showed that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

It showed that all atoms contain electrons.

Explanation:

The experiment carried out by J.J Thomson on the gas discharge tube by passing electric current through a tube filled with many different gases provided a good insight into the structure of an atom.

This experiment led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.

Cathode rays and it properties were discovered in this set up.
It furnished the scientific community with evidences that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.
Since atoms now contain some subatomic particles, they can be broken down in like manner into further bits.
The cathode rays which were later termed electrons became a fundamental particles known for every atom.
