Answer:

When pH decreases acidity increases,

and if pH increases  acidity decreases.

Explanation:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7(neutral) 8 9 10

acidic                          basic

So, when pH decreases acidity increases,

and if pH increases  acidity decreases.

"The pH of a solution of household ammonia, a 0.950-M solution of NH3, is 11.612. What is Kb" for NH3
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Kb = 1.77x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

When NH₃, a weak base, is in equilibrium with waterm the reaction that occurs is:

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

And the dissociation constant, Kb, for this equilibrium is:

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

To find Kb you need to find the concentration of each species. The equilibrium concentrations are:

[NH₃] = 0.950M - X

[NH₄⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

<em>Where X is reaction coordinate.</em>

You can know [OH⁻] and, therefore, X, with pH of the solution, thus:

pH = -log [H⁺] = 11.612

[H⁺] = 2.4434x10⁻¹²

As 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.4434x10⁻¹² = [OH⁻]

4.0926x10⁻³ = [OH⁻] = X

Replacing, concentrations of the species are:

[NH₃] = 0.950M - X

[NH₄⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

[NH₃] = 0.9459M

[NH₄⁺] = 4.0926x10⁻³M

[OH⁻] = 4.0926x10⁻³M

Replacing in Kb expression:

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Kb = [4.0926x10⁻³M] [4.0926x10⁻³M] / [0.9459M]

<h3>Kb = 1.77x10⁻⁵</h3>

In the following reaction 8 grams of ethane are burned and 11 grams of CO2 are collected. What is the percent yield? 2C2H6+7O2=
Alika [10]
47% yield.  
First, let's determine how many moles of ethane was used and how many moles of CO2 produced. Start with the respective atomic weights. 
Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999  
Molar mass C2H6 = 2 * 12.0107 + 6 * 1.00794 = 30.06904 g/mol 
Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol  
Moles C2H6 = 8 g / 30.06904 g/mol = 0.266054387 mol 
Moles CO2 = 11 g / 44.0087 g/mol = 0.249950578 mol  
Looking at the balanced equation, for every 2 moles of C2H6 consumed, 4 moles of CO2 should be produced. So at 100% yield, we should have 0.266054387 / 2 * 4 = 0.532108774 moles of CO2. But we only have 0.249950578 moles, or 0.249950578 / 0.532108774 = 0.46973587 =
46.973587% of what was expected.  
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 47% yield.

A heat pump is used to heat a house in the winter and to cool it in the summer. During the winter, the outside air serves as a l
elixir [45]

Answer:

T_{C} = -4.2°C

T_{H} = 49.4°C

Explanation:

A Carnot cycle is known as an ideal cycle in thermodynamic. Therefore, in theory, we have:

|\frac{Q_{C} }{Q_{H} }| = \frac{T_{C} }{T_{H} }

Similarly,

|Q_{H}| = |Q_{C}| + |W_{S}|

During winter, the value of |T_{H}| = 20°C = 273.15 + 20 = 293.15 K and |W_{S}| = 1.5 kW. Therefore,

|Q_{H}| = 0.75(T_{H} -  T_{C})

Similarly,

|\frac{W_{S} }{Q_{H} }| = 1 - \frac{T_{C} }{T_{H} }

1.5/0.75*(293.15-T_{C}) = 1 - (T_{C}/293.15

Further simplification,

T_{C} = -4.2°C

During summer, T_{C} = 25°C = 273.15+25 = 298.15 K, and |W_{S}| = 1.5 kW. Therefore,

|Q_{C}| = 0.75(T_{H} -  T_{C})

Similarly,

|\frac{W_{S} }{Q_{C} }| = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{C} } - 1

1.5/0.75*(T_{H} - 298.15) = (T_{H}/298.15

Further simplification,

T_{H} = 49.4°C
