Answer is: Kb for methylamine is 4.37·10⁻⁴.<span>
Chemical reaction: CH</span>₃NH₂ + H₂O → CH₃NH₃⁺ + OH⁻.
c(CH₃NH₂) = 0.253 M.
α = 4.07% ÷ 100% = 0.0407.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = c(CH₃NH₂) · α.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = 0.253 M · 0.0407.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = 0.0103 M.
[CH₃NH₂] = 0.253 M - 0.0103 M.
[CH₃NH₂] = 0.2427 M.
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] · [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂].
Kb = (0.0103 M)² / 0.2427 M.
Kb = 4.37·10⁻⁴.
(3) the water to the ice cubes
This is so because the ice cubes are colder compared to their surrounding objects.
They absorb the heat from the water, cooling it, therefore vanishing(melting).
Compounds that has two elements on the formula can be bonded by ionic or covalent bond. If the compound is a metal and a non-metal then it will be ionic bonding. However, when it involves two non-metals, then it will have covalent bonding.
