"NH4+ <----> NH3 + H+  

The constant of this equilibrium is: K = Kw / Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 1.8 x 10^-5 =5.56 x 10^-10  

5.56 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x  

x = [H+] =1.1 x 10^-5 M  

pH = 5.0"

Answer:

5.0

Explanation:

NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte that ionizes according to the following equation.

NH₄Cl(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

NH₄⁺ is a weak acid according to the following equation.

NH₄⁺(aq) ⇄ NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq)

Given Kb for NH₃, we can calculate the Ka for NH₄⁺.

Ka. Kb = Kw

Ka = Kw / Kb = 10⁻¹⁴/1.8 × 10⁻⁵ = 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁰

For a weak acid, we can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka) = √(0.20 × 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ M

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

The pH is

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ = 5.0

At what temperature will a solid melt?
jolli1 [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to  liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.

It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

What type of atoms form covalent bonds?
mariarad [96]

Answer: :)

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom

When sedimentary rock sits for years and years will it build up more layers and. Make fossils
KengaRu [80]
Sedimentary rocks don't necessarily make fossils. Although when animals die on top of the rocks and are never moved, blown away, etc they can get trapped under the growing rock. Which is why fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.

What effect does filtration have on water with a ph of 3?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

None  

Step-by-step explanation:

A high pH is caused by an excess of hydrogen ions over hydroxide ions.

Hydrogen ions are so small that they pass through the pores of an ordinary filter.

Thus, ordinary filtration has no effect on the pH of water.
