Answer:

Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Triethanolamine, C₆H₁₅O₃N, is in equilibrium with water:

C₆H₁₅O₃N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Kb is defined from concentrations in equilibrium, thus:

Kb = [C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₆H₁₅O₃N]

The equilibrium concentration of these compounds could be written as:

[C₆H₁₅O₃N] = 0.486M - X

[C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

pH is -log [H⁺], thus, [H⁺] = 10^-pH = 1.820x10⁻¹¹M

Also, Kw = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺];

1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺]

1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [1.820x10⁻¹¹M]

5.495x10⁻⁴M = [OH⁻], that means <em>X = 5.495x10⁻⁴M</em>

Replacing in Kb formula:

Kb = [5.495x10⁻⁴M] [5.495x10⁻⁴M] / [0.486M-5.495x10⁻⁴M]

<em>Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷</em>

To run a thin layer chromatography experiment with a chemical substance, begin by marking a horizontal line near the bottom of a
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

TLC is thin-layer chromatography, a chromatography technique which is used for separating the non-volatile mixtures.

Explanation:

To run a thin layer thin layer chromatography experiment with a chemical substance, begin by marking a horizontal line near the bottom of TLC plate with PENCIL. Place a SMALL spot of the substance onto the line. For the mobile phase add a small amount of SOLVENT at the bottom of TLC chamber. Place the plate in, then COVER the chamber. Once the mobile phase approaches the top of the plate, remove the plate and mark the SOLVENT line. Note the positions of the spot and calculate the Rf if needed.

An element has two isotopes, A and B, with mass numbers of 32.0 and 33.0 respectively. The relative atomic mass is 32.3. The per
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

d) A - 70% B - 30%

Explanation:

If x is the abundance of A, and 1−x is the abundance of B, then:

x (32.0) + (1−x) (33.0) = 32.3

32x + 33 − 33x = 32.3

33 − x = 32.3

x = 0.7

The abundance of A is 70%, and the abundance of B is 30%.

Placing a sample of iron (II) oxide into a graduated cylinder makes the water volume increase 12.0 mL. The weight of the sample
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Density, d=6.38\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

It is given that, placing a sample of iron (II) oxide into a graduated cylinder makes the water volume increase 12.0 mL.

It means that the volume of the sample is 12 mL

The weight of the sample is 76.6 g

We need to find the density of the sample.

12 mL = 12 cm³

The formula of density is given by :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{76.6\ g}{12\ cm^3}\\\\d=6.38\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the sample is 6.38\ g/cm^3.
