Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96
There are also cases when a negative change in entropy can lead to a spontaneous reaction. According to this equation, if the free energy, G, of the system is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous.
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:
Sb2S3 + 6HCl = 6SbCl<span>3 + 3H2S
We are given the amount of </span><span>antimony(III) sulfide to be used in the reaction. This is amount will be used for the calculations. We do as follows:
2.85 g Sb2S3 ( 1 mol / </span><span>339.715 g ) ( 6 mol SbCl3 / 1 mol Sb2S3 ) (</span> 228.13 g / mol ) = 11.48 g SbCl3
