NaC6H5COO \rightarrow Na{^{+}} + C6H5COO^{-}

Here the base is a benzoate ion, which is a weak base and reacts with water.

C6H5COO^{-}(aq) + H2O (l)\leftrightarrow C6H5COOH(aq)+ OH^{-}(aq)

The equation indicates that for every mole of OH- that is produced , there is one mole of C6H5COOH produced.

Therefore [OH-] = [C6H5COOH]

In the question value of PH is given and by using pH we can calculate pOH and then using pOH we can calculate [OH-]

pOH = 14 - pH

pH given = 9.04

pOH = 14-9.04 = 4.96

pOH = -log[OH-] or [OH^{-}] = 10^{^{-pOH}}

[OH^{-}] = 10^{^{-4.96}}

[OH^{-}] = 1.1\times 10^{-5}

The base dissociation equation kb = \frac{Product}{Reactant}

kb =\frac{[C6H5COOH][OH^{-}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

H2O(l) is not included in the 'kb' equation because 'solid' and 'liquid' are taken as unity that is 1.

Value of Kb is given = 1.6\times 10^{-10}

And value of [OH-] we have calculated as 1.1\times 10^{-5} and value of C6H5COOH is equal to OH-

Now putting the values in the 'kb' equation we can find the concentration of C6H5COO-

kb =\frac{[C6H5COOH][OH^{-}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

1.6\times 10^{-10} = \frac{[1.1\times 10^{-5}][1.1\times 10^{-5}]}{[C6H5COO^{-}]}

[C6H5COO^{-}] = \frac{[1.1\times 10^{-5}][1.1\times 10^{-5}]}{1.6\times 10^{-10}}

[C6H5COO^{-}] = 0.76 M or 0.76\frac{mol}{L}

So, Concentration of NaC6H5COO would also be 0.76 M and volume is given to us 0.50 L , now moles can we calculated as : Moles = M X L

Moles of NaC6H5COO would be = 0.76(\frac{mol}{L}) \times (0.50L)

Moles of NaC6H5COO (sodium benzoate) = 0.38 mol

Answer : The number of moles of sodium benzoate is, 0.375 moles

Solution :

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=14-pH=14-9.04=4.96

Now we have to calculate the concentration of [tex[OH^-[/tex] ions.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

4.96=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.096\times 10^{-5}

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of weak base is,

                   C_6H_5COO^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons OH^-+C_6H_5COOH

initially conc.         c                              0         0

At eqm.              c(1-\alpha)                      c\alpha        c\alpha

The expression for dissociation constant is,

k_b=\frac{c\alpha\times c\alpha}{c(1-\alpha)}

when \alpha is very very small the, the expression will be,

k_b=\frac{c^2\alpha^2}{c}=c\alpha^2\\\\\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{k_b}{c}}

And,

[OH^-]=c\alpha

Thus the expression will be,

[OH^-]=\sqrt{k_b\times c}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

1.096\times 10^{-5}=\sqrt{(1.6\times 10^{-10})\times c}

c=0.75M

Now we have to calculate the moles of sodium benzoate.

Moles=concentration\times volume=0.75M\times 0.5L=0.375moles

Therefore, the number of moles of sodium benzoate is, 0.375 moles

Which elements would have properties similar to those of boron (B) ? Se , Li , and Be Al , Ga , and In C, N, and O Na , Mg , and
n200080 [17]

Answer:

option B= Al, Ga and In

Explanation:

Properties of Boron group:

  1. These elements are belongs to boron group which is thirteen group of periodic table. There are six elements are in this group boron, aluminium, gallium, indium, thallium and nihonium.
  2. They are also called p-block elements because their valance electrons are present in p subshell.
  3. All these elements have three valance electrons.
  4. Boron is metalloid while other elements are metals.
  5. Their oxidation state is +3 because of tendency to lose three valance electrons and create positive charge.
  6. Their atomic sizes increases down the group with increase of atomic number.
  7. Their ionization energies decreases down the group because of increase of atomic radius and ease of removing of electrons.
