<u>Answer:</u> The expression of K_b is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound which is trimethylamine that acts as a weak base when dissolved in water.

It accepts a proton from the water to form trimethylammonium ion and hydroxide ion.

The chemical equation for the reaction of trimethylamine in water follows:

(CH_3)_3N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons (CH_3)_3NH^++OH^-

The expression of K_b for above equation follows:

K_b=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}

Hence, the expression of K_b is written above.

What observation did Rutherford make from his gold-foil experiment which
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.

Complete and balance the following neutralization reaction Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.

The equation of the reaction is thus;

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.

Balance equation is  

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons
Alex777 [14]

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

Which group (give the number) is characterized by 5 valence electrons in the configuration<br> s²p3?
Ivahew [28]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
  • For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
  • Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.
