-12
Explanation:
a negative times a positive is negative
Answer:
Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷
Explanation:
Triethanolamine, C₆H₁₅O₃N, is in equilibrium with water:
C₆H₁₅O₃N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Kb is defined from concentrations in equilibrium, thus:
Kb = [C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₆H₁₅O₃N]
The equilibrium concentration of these compounds could be written as:
[C₆H₁₅O₃N] = 0.486M - X
[C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] = X
[OH⁻] = X
pH is -log [H⁺], thus, [H⁺] = 10^-pH = 1.820x10⁻¹¹M
Also, Kw = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺];
1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺]
1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [1.820x10⁻¹¹M]
5.495x10⁻⁴M = [OH⁻], that means <em>X = 5.495x10⁻⁴M</em>
Replacing in Kb formula:
Kb = [5.495x10⁻⁴M] [5.495x10⁻⁴M] / [0.486M-5.495x10⁻⁴M]
<em>Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷</em>

If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two
electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral
atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so
originally it only has 16 electrons.
In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The
chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged
sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.
True,I think.(so don't really count on my answer sorry :D)
