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>

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point.
IRINA_888 [86]
Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.
