"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

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

Organic acids and bases in their ___________ form are soluble in organic solvents, but the corresponding _________ are more wate
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a. neutral

b. salts

c. salt

Explanation:

Organic salts are a dense number of ionic compounds with innumerable characteristics. They are previously derived from an organic compound, which has undergone a transformation that allows it to be a carrier of a charge, and that in addition, its chemical identity depends on the associated ion.

Organic salts are usually stronger acids or bases than inorganic salts. This is because, for example, in the amine salts, it has a positive charge due to its bond with an additional hydrogen: A + -H. Then, in contact with a base, donate the proton to be a neutral compound again

RA + H + B => RA + HB

H belongs to A, but it is written as it is involved in the neutralization reaction.

On the other hand, RA + can be a large molecule, unable to form solids with a crystalline network stable enough with the hydroxyl anion or oxyhydrile OH–.

When this is so, salt RA + OH– behaves as a strong base; even as basic as NaOH or KOH

tate whether the following changes are physical or chemical for rancidipication fixation of water 2 tearing of paper 3 rusting o
damaskus [11]

Answer: Physical change : tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change:  rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance.

Example:  tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state.

Example: rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification
