<span>the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, is 11.70
</span>
For triehtylamine, (C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N, the reaction will be
(C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N + H_{2}O ---\ \textgreater \ ( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} + OH^{-}

 and we know, pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH-]

Also, pOH + pH = 14

Now, the Kb value  = 5.3 x 10^-4

And kb =  \frac{( [( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} ]*  OH^{-} )}{[( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N]}

 thus, [OH-] =(5.3 ^ 10-4) ^2 / 0.050

                    =0.00516 M 

Thus, pOH = 2.30 
 pH = 14 - pOH = 11.7

Answer:Sample Absorbance (625 nm)  

A 0.536  

B 0.783  

C 0.045  

Therefore, I will use these data to solve your question. If you have other absorbances values, just follow my steps and plug in different numbers.

First, we see 1 mole of NH3 gives 1 mole product.

In B moles of NH3 = moles of NH3 in A + (5.5 x10^-4 x2.5/1000) = 1.375 x10^6 + mA

( mA = moles of NH3 in A) vol of B = 25 = vol of A

now A = el C = eC ( since l = 1cm)

Because, n net absorbance due to complex blank absorbance must be removed.

Here A(A) = 0.536 - 0.045 = 0.491 , A(B) = 0.783 - 0.045 = 0.738  

(you can plug in different numbers in this step)

A2/A1 = C2/C1 , A(B)/A(A) = (1.375x10^-6 +mA)/(mA) = 0.738/0.491

So, mA = 2.733 x 10^-6 = moles of NH3 in A (Lake water)

Hence [NH3] water ( 2.733 x10^-6 ) x 1000/25 = 1.093 x 10^-4 M

Lake water vol = 10 ml out of 25,

Concentration of ammonia in lake water = 2.733 x10^-6 x 1000/10 = 2.733 x 10^-4 M

Then, A = 0.491 = e x 1 x 1.093 x10^-4

e = 4492 M-1cm-1

Calcium atoms have 20 protons, but tend to form ions with a 2+ charge. How
scoray [572]

Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.
