<u>Answer:</u> Ammonia is considered as a base.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration that are present in a solution.

The equation representing pH of the solution follows:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

pH range of the solution varies from 0 to 14.

There are 3 types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

If the pH of the solution is from 0 to 6.9, the solution is said to be acidic.
If the pH of the solution is from 7.1 to 14, the solution is said to be basic.
If the pH of the solution is 7, the solution is said to be neutral.

We are given:

Ammonia has a pH above 7. So, this compound is a basic compound.

Hence, ammonia is considered as a base.

K for enolization of 2,4-cyclohexadienone is about 1013. Explain why the enol is so much more stable than the keto tautomer.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Because the value of K is huge.

Explanation:

The tautomer is a kind of isomer in which exist an equilibrium between a ketone and an enol, or between an aldehyde and an enol. So, in the enolization, the ketone is the reactant and the enol is the product.

The equilibrium reaction can be characterized by an equilibrium constant, which is the ratio of the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants.

Because the constant K is extremely large (10¹³) we can conclude that the concentration of the product will be greater than the concentration of the reactant, in the equilibrium. It means that the concentration of the enol will be greater.

So, the ketone is unstable and forms in a great amount the more stable product, the enol.

A tank holds 6.90 m3 of water. What is the volume in ft3? (3.28 ft = 1 m, Remember significant figures, but this answer does not

AleksAgata [21]

Volume of tank = $6.9 m^{3}$ (given)

Since, $1 m = 3.28 ft$

So,

$1 m^{3} = 35.287 ft^{3}$

For $6.9 m^{3}$ :

$6.9\times 35.287 ft^{3} = 243.4803 ft^{3}$

The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.

Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.

$243.4803 ft^{3} \simeq 243.5 ft^{3}$

Hence, volume in $ft^{3}$ is 243.5.
