The pH of the given 0.227 M solution of {{\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{\mathbf{N}}is\boxed{{\text{9}}{\text{.3}}}.

Further explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is the state in which concentration of reactants and products become constant and do not change with time. This is because the rate of forward and backward direction becomes equal. The general equilibrium reaction is as follows:

{\text{A(g)}}+{\text{B(g)}}\rightleftharpoons{\text{C(g)}}+{\text{D(g)}}

Equilibrium constant is the constant that relates the concentration of product and reactant at equilibrium. The formula to calculate the equilibrium constant for general reaction is as follows:

{\text{K}}=\frac{{\left[{\text{D}}\right]\left[{\text{C}}\right]}}{{\left[{\text{A}}\right]\left[{\text{B}}\right]}}

Here, K is the equilibrium constant.

The equilibrium constant for the dissociation of acid is known as {{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}and equilibrium constant for the dissociation of base is known as{{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}.

The molecule {{\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{\mathbf{N}}is a weak base that produces{{\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{5}}}{\mathbf{N}}{{\mathbf{H}}^+} and hydroxide ion.

{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}\left({aq}\right)+{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}\left(l\right)\rightleftharpoons{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}^+}\left({aq}\right)+{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}\left({aq}\right)

The expression of {{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}for the above reaction is as follows:

{{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}=\frac{{\left[{{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}^+}}\right]\left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]}}{{\left[{{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}}\right]}}                      …... (1)

The value of{{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}is {\text{1}}{\text{.7}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-9}}.

The initial concentration of {{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}is 0.227 M.

Let the change in concentration at equilibrium be x. Therefore, the concentration of {{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}becomes 0.227-x at equilibrium. The concentration of{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}and {\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}becomes x at equilibrium.

Substitute x for \left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right], x for \left[{{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}}\right] and 0.227-x for \left[{{{\text{C}}_{\text{5}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{N}}}\right]in equation (1).

{{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}=\frac{{{\text{x}}\times{\text{x}}}}{{0.227-{\text{x}}}}              …… (2)

Rearrange the equation (2) and substitute {\text{1}}{\text{.7}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-9}}for {{\text{K}}_{\text{b}}}to calculate value of x.

{{\text{x}}^2}=\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.7}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-9}}}\right)\left({{\text{0}}{\text{.227}}-{\text{x}}}\right)

The final quadric equation is,

{{\text{x}}^2}-\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.7}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-9}}}\right){\text{x}}-3.859\times{10^{-10}}=0

After solving the quadratic equation the value of x obtained is,

{\text{x}}={\text{1}}{\text{.9645}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-5}}

The concentration of\left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]is equal to x and therefore the concentration of \left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]is {\text{1}}{\text{.9645}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-5}}{\text{ M}}.

The formula to calculate the pH of the solution is,

{\text{pH}}=14-{\text{pOH}}

This expression can be elaborate as,

\begin{aligned}{\text{pH}}&=14-{\text{pOH}}\hfill\\{\text{pH}}&=14-\left({-\log\left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]}\right)\hfill\\{\text{pH}}&=14+\log\left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]\hfill\\\end{aligned}      …… (3)

Substitute {\text{1}}{\text{.9645}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-5}}{\text{ M}}for \left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]in equation (3)

\begin{aligned}{\text{pH}}&=14+\log\left[{{\text{O}}{{\text{H}}^-}}\right]\\&=14+\log\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.9645}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-5}}}\right)\\&={\mathbf{9}}{\mathbf{.3}}\\\end{aligned}

Therefore, the pH of the given solution is 9.3.

<span> the concentration of OH- using the formula:
[OH-] = Kw / [H+]

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-14 / ( [(1.7 x 10^-9) (0.227)]^2 )

[OH-] = 5.1 x 10^-10

To find the pOH, use the formula:
pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = -log [5.1 x 10^-10]
pOH = 9.29</span>

What is the enthalpy change (in kj) of a chemical reaction that raises the temperature of 250.0 ml of solution having a density
Pepsi [2]
<span>250 ml * 1.25 g/ml * 3.74 j/g-K * 9.2 K = 10.752 kJ Pretty much, all you need to do here is multiply all of these out to get your final answer. Not all questions are this easy, but this is certainly one of them.</span>

In the oxidation reduction reaction 2FeCl2 + Cl2 = 2FeCl3 what substance is reduced? What substance is oxidized?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Iron is oxidized while chlorine is reduced.

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reaction:

2FeCl₂  + Cl₂  →  2FeCl₃

in this reaction the oxidation state of iron is increased from +2 to +3. That's why iron get oxidized and it is reducing agent because it reduced the chlorine. The chlorine is reduced from -2 to -3 and it is oxidizing agent because it oxidized the iron.

2Fe⁺²Cl₂⁻²

2Fe⁺³Cl₃⁻³

The iron atom gives it three electrons to three atoms of chlorine and gain positive charge while chlorine atom accept the electron and form anion.

Which two of Earth's spheres interact when the rainfall in a region increases after a volcanic eruption?
motikmotik

Answer:

Geosphere and hydrosphere is the correct answer to the given question .

Explanation:

The Volcanic eruption substances alter ecosystems and create pollutants and gasses in the environment as well as in the waters.The Volcanic eruption is effected the climate as well as the weather of the environment system .The volcanic eruption is simply effected the rainfall of the climate environment.

  • The Geosphere and hydrosphere communicate when the amount of rain rises in the region of the following a volcanic eruption.
  • All the other option are incorrect because these layer is not involved in the rising in the region of the  volcanic eruption.
