Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.
Uranium-238 is the element that undergoes decay to yield uranium-234
Explanation:
A compound is defined as follows.
- Compounds are pure substance.
- The atoms bonded in a compound are in specific proportion.
- A compound is formed by chemical combination.
- For a compound, melting point and boiling point is defined.
A mixture is defined as follows.
- Mixtures are impure substance.
- The bonded atoms in a mixture are in any proportion.
- A mixture is formed by physical combination.
- For a mixture, melting point and boiling point is not defined.
On changing the amount of one substance will affect the formation of compound as a compound requires atoms to be bonded in a specific proportion. Whereas changing the amount of one substance will not affect the formation of mixtures as atoms can be bonded in any proportion in a mixture.
pH of 0.40M triethylammonium chloride is 5.90.
<h3>What is pH?</h3>
A solution's acidity may be determined by looking at its pH, which is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. Pure water slightly separates into ions with roughly equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH) ions. [H+] is 107 for a neutral solution, or pH = 7.
<h3>Given : </h3>
Concentration of triethylammonium chloride = 0.40M
pH = ?
<h3>Solution: </h3>
(CH3CH2)3NHCl ------> (CH3CH2)3NH⁺ + Cl⁻
(CH3CH2)3NH⁺ will react with water to give H3O⁺ .
(CH3CH2)3N will have a Kb = 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)
Kw = Kb x Ka
=> Ka = Kw / Kb = 10^(-14) / 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)
=> Ka = 1.92 x 10^(-11)
so by the reaction we have ,
Ka = x²/(0.40 - x)
=> x = 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)
now, pH = -log( [H3O⁺]) = - log ( 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)) = 5.906
