Answer:

HOAc is stronger acid than HClO

ClO⁻ is stronger conjugate base than OAc⁻

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Assume 0.10M HOAc => H⁺ + OAc⁻  with Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

=> [H⁺] = √Ka·[Acid] =√(1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.10) M = 1.3 x 10⁻³M H⁺

Assume 0.10M HClO => H⁺ + ClO⁻ with Ka = 3 x 10⁻⁸

=> [H⁺] = √(3 x 10⁻⁸)(0.10)M = 5.47 x 10⁻⁵M H⁺

HOAc delivers more H⁺ than HClO and is more acidic.

Kb = Kw/Ka, Kw = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Calculate the number of molecules in a deep breath of air whose volume is 2.15 L at body temperature, 37 ∘C, and a pressure of 7
Zinaida [17]
PV = nRT 
R = 0.0821 L * atm / mol * K 
(ideal gas constant) 

First, convert 735 torr to atm. Divide by 760. 
(1 atm = 760 torr) 

735 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 0.967 atm 
Then, convert 37 C to Kelvin. Just add 273. 
37 C = 310K 

n = PV / RT 
= (0.967)(2.07) / (0.0821)(310) 
= 0.0786 mol 

<span>0.0786 mol * 6.02 * 10^23 molecules / 1 mol = 4.73 * 10^22 molecules </span>
