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>

Why does atomic radius increase across Period 3?
bezimeni [28]

An atomic radius decrease across Period 3 because the number of shells not increases but the number of electron increases and the atomic size decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

When we move in the period 3 from left to the right the atomic radius decreases because of the reason that the the number of shells don not change they will remain the same across the period but the number of the electron will increases . the effective nuclear charge will also increases. the nucleus will attract the electrons more strongly that the reason the atomic radius decreases.

Thus, number of electron increases and the number of shells will remain same , the atomic size decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

How would you describe the particles that make up a liquid? are the shape and volume of liquids definite or indefinite?
olga55 [171]
Particles in a liquid move freely and liquids have a definite volume and indefinite shape since it occupies the shape of the container in which the liquid is in.

What is the mass number of an ion with 107 electrons, 159 neutrons, and a +1 charge? express your answer as an integer?
Darya [45]
<span>The mass number of an ion is calculated by adding the neutrons and electrons together. In this case 159+107=266. However, since this ion has a +1 charge, you must add 1 to the electrons. This would give a total mass of 267.</span>

Suppose that 100 grams of water at 50.0°C is placed in contact with 200 grams of iron at 30.0°C. The final
wel

Answer:

The answer would be 1.5 kJ.

Explanation:

When you use the equation q = m x c x ∆T you will be able to find the energy gained or lost. The data for the water in this case is just there to distract you so ignore it. :D
