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>

<em></em>

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: Moon A and Moon B. The mass of the new planet is greater t
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is closer to the new planet than Moon A.

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted by the two objects on each other is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

F=G\frac{mM}{r^2}

F = gravitational force or pull

G = gravitational constant on that planet

M =  mass of the object-1

m = mass of object-2(Mass of Moon-A or Moon-B)

r = distance between two objects

Force\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

With decease in distance 'r' the force between the object increases or vice versa.So, from this we can say that the gravitational pull on Moon-B is more than the gravitational pull on Moon-A because the Moon B is closer than the Moon-A from the new planet.

motikmotik

Answer:

Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane.

Explanation:

A double bond is converted to an oxirane through oxidation by peracids e.g. mCPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid).

Epoxidation can occur at both face of double bond result in formation of two stereoisomers.

Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane

Both A and B contain plane of symmetry. Hence, both the products are achiral. So, they do not rotate the plane of polarization of plane polarized light.
