Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is <u>5.44</u>

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: K_{b} = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: K_{w} = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

<em><u>The acid dissociation constant </u></em>(K_{a})<em><u> for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:</u></em>

K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}    

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}

<em><u>Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:</u></em>

Reaction involved: BH⁺  +  H₂O  ⇌  B  +  H₃O+

Initial:                     0.1 M                    x         x            

Change:                   -x                      +x       +x

Equilibrium:           0.1 - x                    x         x

<u>The acid dissociation constant: </u>K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

\Rightarrow 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

As, x

\Rightarrow 0.1 - x = 0.1

\therefore 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 }

\Rightarrow x^{2} = (1\times 10^{-10})\times 0.1 = 1\times 10^{-11}

\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{1\times 10^{-11}} = 3.16 \times 10^{-6}

<u>Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ion: x = 3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M</u>

Now, pH = - ㏒ [H⁺] = - ㏒ (3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.44

<u>Therefore, the pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44</u>

Determine the mass of water in kg, if 4300 cal of energy is placed in water, resulting in a temperature change to 101.0 oC from
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.5059kg

Explanation:

The heat absorbed for the water is determined using the equation:7

Q = C×m×ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat absorbed (4300cal)</em>

<em>C is specific heat (1cal/g°C)</em>

<em>m is the mass in grams</em>

<em>ΔT is change in °C (101.0°C - 92.5°C = 8.5°C)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

4300cal = 1cal/g°C×m×8.5°C

505.9g = m

In kg, the mass of water is:

<h3>0.5059kg</h3>

4. Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

4.                 limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

6.  Sodium salicylate is made from carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide.

The reactants are:

                  Carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide

The product is:

         Sodium salicylate

A compound with molecular formula C6H15N exhibits a singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H), a triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H), a singlet at 1.15 ppm
Triss [41]

Answer:

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3

Explanation:

The 1HNMR is the acronym for Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and it is used in chemistry or Chemical laboratory for the analysis and identification of compounds.

In order to be able to answer the question accurately you have to have the tables containing all the values for chemical shift. The Chemical shift is measured in ppm and it occur due to Resonance frequency variation.

From the table, a singlet at 1.15 ppm (9H) is - C(CH3)3.

A singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H) shows the presence of a secondary amine group, that is -R2NH group.

A triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H) shows that we have;

CH3- CH2-

A quartet at 2.6 ppm (2H) shows that we have;

-CH2 - CH3.

Therefore, joining all together we have;

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3.

Kindly check attached file for the picture of the structure.
