BH+ClO4- is a salt formed from the base B (Kb = 1.00e-4) and perchloric acid. It dissociates into BH+, a weak acid, and ClO4-, w

Len [333]

Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: $K_{b}$ = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: $K_{w}$ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

The acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:

$K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}$

Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:

Reaction involved: BH⁺ + H₂O ⇌ B + H₃O+

Initial: 0.1 M x x

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The acid dissociation constant: $K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$\Rightarrow 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$As, x$

$\Rightarrow 0.1 - x = 0.1$

$\therefore 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 }$

$\Rightarrow x^{2} = (1\times 10^{-10})\times 0.1 = 1\times 10^{-11}$

$\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{1\times 10^{-11}} = 3.16 \times 10^{-6}$

Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ion: x = 3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M

Now, pH = - ㏒ [H⁺] = - ㏒ (3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.44

Therefore, the pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?

Arturiano [62]

There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective. Some of the arguments for leaving it include: *When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes. *If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water. *Removing it can expose people to arsenic *It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people *Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard *Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water Some of the arguments for removing it include: *The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood *If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health. A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.
