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>

Which example is the site of reduction when the dry cell is operating
Simora [160]

Answer:

A battery contains electrochemical cells that can store chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy. A dry-cell battery stores energy in an immobilized electrolyte paste, which minimizes the need for water. Common examples of dry-cell batteries include zinc-carbon batteries and alkaline batteries.

The diagram below is an artist’s impression of a single atom of element Be. The neutrons are shown with stripes, the protons are
Ahat [919]

Answer is: beryllium-10.

The diagram shows that atom has 4 protons, 5 neutrons and 2 valence electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element, beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4.

Two valence electrons means that atom is from 2. group of periodic table, only beryllium is from that group; sodium (1. group), boron (13. group) and carbon (14. group).

Beryllium-10 has 6 neutrons, so it is isotope (different number of neutrons or mass number).

Use the molar heat capacity for aluminum from table 1 to calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 260.5
Nimfa-mama [501]
Unfortunately, you failed to include the table 1 from which the molar heat capacity of aluminum could have been obtained. However, as a general rule, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a certain substance by certain degrees is calculated through the equation,
                            H = mcpdT
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific heat capacity, and dT is change in temperature. From a reliable source, cp for aluminum is equal to 0.215 cal/g°C. Substituting this to the equation,
                               H = (260.5 g)(0.215 cal/g°C)(125°C - 0)
                                        H = 7000.94 cal

Is ninhydren test positive for protein?
lyudmila [28]
The Ninhydrin test is not effective to detect high molecular weight proteins as the steric hindrance limits the ninhydrin from reaching the α-amino groups.
