Answer:

Baking of bread is an endothermic process. 

Explanation:

In order to bake bread a constant supply of heat energy is required. Since absorption of heat takes place while bread gets baked this is an endothermic reaction. The microbe used in bread making is yeast which helps in puffing up the bread. 

Puffing up of bread is caused by the release of carbon dioxide by yeast when it feeds on the sugars in the dough. For yeast to become active it should come in contact with warm water. Thus heat is an essential input in bread making process.

Answer:

11.39

Explanation:

Given that:

$pK_{b}=4.82$

$K_{b}=10^{-4.82}=1.5136\times 10^{-5}$

Given that:

Mass = 1.805 g

Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{1.805\ g}{82.0343\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.022\ moles$

Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Molarity=\frac{0.022}{0.055}$

Concentration = 0.4 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:

B + H₂O ⇄ BH⁺ + OH⁻

At t=0 0.4 - -

At t =equilibrium (0.4-x) x x

The expression for dissociation constant is:

$K_{b}=\frac {\left [ BH^{+} \right ]\left [ {OH}^- \right ]}{[B]}$

$1.5136\times 10^{-5}=\frac {x^2}{0.4-x}$

x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4

Solving for x, we get:

x = 2.4606×10⁻³ M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39

Answer:

$\% Fe^{+2}=70%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we could considering this as a redox titration:

$Fe^{+2}+(Cr_2O_7)^{-2}\rightarrow Fe^{+3}+Cr^{+3}$

Thus, the balance turns out (by adding both hydrogen ions and water):

$Fe^{+2}\rightarrow Fe^{+3}+1e^-\\(Cr_2^{+6}O_7)^{-2}+14H^++6e^-\rightarrow 2Cr^{+3}+7H_2O\\\\6Fe^{+2}+(Cr_2^{+6}O_7)^{-2}+14H^++6e^-\rightarrow Cr^{+3}+7H_2O+6Fe^{+3}+6e^-$
