Pyridine (c5h5n) is a particularly foul-smelling substance used in manufacturing pesticides and plastic resins. calculate the ph

zubka84 [21]

Answer is: ph value of pyridine solution is 9.1.

Chemical reaction: C₅H₅N + H₂O → C₅H₅NH⁺ + OH⁻.
c(pyridine - C₅H₅N) = 0.115M.
Kb(C₅H₅N) = 1.4·10⁻⁹.
[C₅H₅NH⁺] = [OH⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration.
[C₅H₅N] = 0.115 M - x.

Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺] · [OH⁻] / [C₅H₅N].

1.4·10⁻⁹ = x² / (0.115 M -x)

Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.0000127 M.
pOH = -log(0.0000127 M) = 4.9

pH = 14 - 4.9 = 9.1.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

LuckyWell [14K]

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

Mg --> Mg+2

Hg+2 --> Hg+1

Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$

and

$2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$ ⇒ $Hg_{2} ^{+2}$

and then combine them together to form

$Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}$

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: Add H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.

4. Balance the following chemical equation. Say what the coefficients "a"

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a = 4

b = 3

Explanation:

SOLUTION :-

Balance it by using 'hit & trial' method , and you'll get the answer :-

2Fe₂O + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO₂

⇒ a = 4 ; b = 3

VERIFICATION :-

In reactant side of equation :-

Number of atoms in Fe = 2×2 = 4
Number of atoms in O = 2×3 = 6
Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3

In product side of equation :-

Number of atoms in Fe = 4×1 = 4
Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3
Number of atoms in O = 3×2 = 6

Number of atoms of each element is equal in both reactant & product side of equation. Hence , the equation is balanced.
