1 answer:

8 0

Answer is: Kb for methylamine is 4.37·10⁻⁴.
Chemical reaction: CH₃NH₂ + 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.

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
