Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.
Explanation:
To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant
Answer:
CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 would have the largest pKa
Explanation:
To answer this question we must know Kb of CH3CH2NH2 is 5.6x10⁻⁴, and for C6H5NH2 is 4.0x10⁻¹⁰. And the CH3CH2NH3+ and C6H5NH3+ are related with these substances because are their conjugate base. That means:
pKa of CH3CH2NH3+ = CH3CH2NH2; C6H5NH3+ = C6H5NH2
Also, Kw / Kb = Ka
Thus:
pKa of CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 is:
Kw / kb = Ka = 1.79x10⁻¹¹
-log Ka = pKa
pKa = 10.75
pKa of C6H5NH3+/ C6H5NH2 is:
Kw / kb = Ka = 2.5x10⁻⁵
-log Ka = pKa
pKa = 4.6
That means CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 would have the largest pKa
