Answer:
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
Explanation:
The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:
HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺
Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]
And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:
X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX
Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]
To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]
Thus, we can obtain:
Kw = Ka*Kb
Solving for Kb:
Kw / Ka = Kb
1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.76x10⁻⁸ =
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
This statement is True! Lets think about it... When water boils, the water doesnt evaporate from the bottom of the bowl it evaporates from the top!

Answer:
2) Gas molecules do not have preferred direction of motion, their motion is completely random. 3) Gas molecules travels in straight line. 4) The time interval of collision between any two gas molecules is very small. 5) The collision between gas molecules and the walls of container is perfectly elastic.
There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases. There are attractive forces between atoms/molecules, and these become stronger as the particles move closer together.
