Answer:

Kb = $4.45\times10^{-7}\ mol/L$

$p^{Kb}=6.35$

Explanation:

For a weak organic base, the formula to find $p^{OH}$ is given by:

$p^{OH}=p^{K_b}+\log c$

where c is the concentration of base.

Here c= $5\times10^{-3}\ M$

$p^{H}=9.95\\p^{OH}=14-p^{H}=14-9.95=4.05$

Substituting the above values in the formula,we get:

$p^{k_b}=p^{OH}-\log c\\p^{k_b}=4.05-\log (5\times10^{-3})\\p^{K_b}=6.35\\K_b=$antilog 6.35=4.45\times10^{-7}\ mol/L$

Hence:

Kb = $4.45\times10^{-7}\ mol/L$

$p^{Kb}=6.35$

Consider the biochemical pathway: A + E1 –> B + E2 –> C (Note that A, B, and C are molecules in the pathway, E1 is enzyme

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The compound that will accumulate is B.

Explanation:

Enzymes in any biochemical process are the protein molecules that speed up the rate of the biological reaction. It lowers down the activation energy of the reactant molecules.

Since from the question:

<u>A + E1 –> B + E2 –> C</u>

Given that A, B and C are the molecules in the pathway and E1 and E2 are the enzymes.

<u>This means that A undergoes some biological reaction in which E1 is acting a catalyst to give B and which further undergoing another biological reaction to give C in the presence of enzyme E2.</u>

Since, E2 is inactive,

<u>A will form B but B will not be able to undergo further reaction and thus, C can not be formed.</u>

<u>Thus A is consumed and C is not formed. The compound that will accumulate is B.</u>

What mass of potassium hypochlorite (FW-90.6 g/mol) must be added to 4.50 x 10 mL of water to give a solution with pH 10.20? [Ka

marta [7]

Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = $4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L$

The decomposition of KClO will be :

$KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-$

Now the further reaction with water $(H_2O)$ to give,

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$3.8=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : $K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get :

$K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $ClO^-$ .

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction is:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}$

As we know that, $[OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

$2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}$

$[ClO^-]=0.0999M$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $ClO^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole$

As we know that, the number of moles of $ClO^-$ are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

$\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO$

$\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g$

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

What is the Lewis dot diagram structure for PI2F

Brut [27]

Answer:

Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons are;

Phosphorus = 5 Electrons

Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons

Chlorine = 7 electrons

The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons

2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;

The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines

3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs

4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure
