What is the pOH of 0.50 molar H3BO3?

Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A. 10.25</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pkb =4.77

So pka = 14 - pka = 9.23

Ka =10^{-pka}

H_3 BO_3 (aq)+ H_2 O(l) H_2 BO_3^- (aq)+H_3 O^+ (aq)

Initial                0.50M                                 0                                 0

Change                  -x                                 +x                               +x

Equilibrium    0.50M-x                               +x                               +x

Ka =\frac {((x)(x))}{(0.50M-x)}

5.88\times10^{-10}= \frac {x^2}{(0.50M-x)}

(-x is neglected) so we get

5.88\times10^{-10}\times0.50=x^2\\\\x^2=2.94\times10^{-10}

x=\sqrt{x^2}=1.72\times10^{-5} M=H^3 O^{+}

pH=-log[H^3 O^+]\\\\pH=-log[1.72\times10^{-5}]\\\\pH=4.76

pOH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 4.76

pOH = 9.24 is the answer

Option A - 10.25 is the answer which is close to 9.24

Why is the structure of a molecule important to its function
Scilla [17]

Answer:

It determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

Explanation:

A molecule has a characteristic size and shape. The precise shape of a molecule is usually very important to its function in the living cell. Molecular shape is crucial in biology because it determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

For the 52nd electron must pair with one of the<br> electrons in the 5p orbital.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the element that has 52 electrons only is Tellurium (Te) and when the electronic configuration of elements with more than 52 electrons are written, the 52nd electron is indicated/paired the same way the 52nd electron of Te is indicated/paired. Hence, while writing the electronic configuration of Te, it is written as

[Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ where [Kr] is the electronic configuration of krypton. Based on this, we can deduce that the 52nd electron will be in the first orbital of the P subshell (as attached in the picture). This is because when indicating the electrons in the subshell, one electron will be spread across each orbital and if any electron is still remaining, it will be added starting from to the first orbital of the subshell, however no two electrons in an orbital in a subshell can have the same spin and hence must face opposite direction based on pauli's exclusion principle (as seen in attached); thus for the 5p-orbital of elements with 52 or more electrons, when one electron each is represented in each box (3 boxes in total) in the 5p-orbital, the remaining electron is paired with the the first electron in the first box of the 5p-orbital

taurus [48]

The law of conservation of energy or first law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

From the context we can infer that Mr. Jones was describing the law of conservation of energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy:

  "energy is not created nor destroyed by can be transformed from one form to another" .

  The captured energy is a form of energy and it is change into other forms in the ecosystem.

Energy is initially captured in the ecosystem by plants.

mickey reacts magnesium with 1.0 M of hydrochloric acid. the reaction tales 2 minutes and 34 seconds to complete. what are 2 way
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

To slow down this reaction, we can use any of the methods listed below:

  • Increase the size of the magnesium by using solid lumps of  the metal. This will take a much faster time to react than powered and granulated magnesium.
  • Reduce the concentration of the acid.
  • Let the reaction take place at a much lower temperature than that given.

These conditions will slow down a chemical reaction.
