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>

Kamila [148]

12 moles of water H₂O are produced from the combustion of pentane.

Explanation:

We have the following combustion of pentane (C₅H₁₂):

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Knowing the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         1 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces 6 moles of water H₂O

then    2 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces X moles of water H₂O

X = (2 × 6) / 1 = 12 moles of water H₂O
