Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻ pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64

In the reaction ___h2+n2 ->2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?

Nataly_w [17]

In order to balance this equation you need to count each element and how many of the individual elements are in the equation.
_H2+N2=2 NH3
You multiply the 2 (Which is the coefficient) by the 3 (which is the subscript) This would equal 6 which indicated there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side so the left side should also have 6 hydrogen atoms

The missing coefficient on the left side must multiple the 2 to become 6 hydrogen

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

moles HCl = 101.2 g /36.461 g/mol=2.78

[H+]= 2.78 mol/ 150 L =0.0185

pH = - log 0.0185=1.73

1.73 is the answer
