Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96

I believe the answer is D, but not 100%
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³. If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
