Answer:

pH = 10.396

Explanation:

CH3NH2 + H2O ↔ CH3NH3+  +  OH-

⇒ pKb = -log ( Kb ) = 3.36

⇒ Kb = 4.365 E-4 = ( [ CH3NH3+ ] * [ OH- ] ) / [ CH3NH2 ]

CH3NH3Cl ↔   CH3NH3+  +  Cl-

  0.175 M            0.175 M       0.175 M

mass balance:

M CH3NH2 + M CH3NH3Cl = [ CH3NH3+ ] + [ CH3NH2 ] = 0.100 + 0.175 = 0.275

load balance:

[ CH3NH3+ ] = [Cl- ] + [ OH- ] ......... [ OH- ] from water

∴ [ Cl- ] = 0.175 M

⇒ [ CH3NH3+ ] = 0.175

in the mass balance:

⇒ 0.275 = 0.175 + [ CH3NH2 ]

⇒ 0.1 = [ CH3NH2 ]

⇒ Kb = 4.365 E-4 = (( 0.175 ) * [ OH- ] ) / (0.1 )

⇒ 4.365 E-5= 0.175 [ OH-]

⇒ [ OH- ] = 2.494 E-4

⇒ pOH = - log ( 2.494 E-4)

⇒ pOH = 3.6

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 10.396

What sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy
makvit [3.9K]

The sample with the lowest AVERAGE kinetic energy is
the coolest one.

The sample with the lowest TOTAL kinetic energy depends on
not only the temperature of the samples, but also on their size,
since each molecule in the sample has kinetic energy.

Starch and cellulose are both produced by plants, yet one is easily digested by animals and the other is not. Discuss the differ
Nadusha1986 [10]
<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>

How can so many different substances in the world be made of so few elements?
Mrrafil [7]
Matematically speaking, maybe because:
The number of substances = number of elements + number of different combinations of those elements
