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>

A 5.0 balloon containing nitrogen gas is cooled from 25 degrees to 5°C. What is the final volume of the balloon?
mylen [45]

Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

V1=5.0

T1=25+ 273=298

V2= z(unknown)

T2=5+273=278

V1/T1 =V2/T2

V2=V1T2/T1

=5*298/278

=5.4

What is the formal charge of nitrogen in no2cl
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The formal charge on nitrogen in NO_{2}Cl is +1.

Explanation:

The structure of NO_{2}Cl is as follows.

(In attachment)

Formal\, charge = Valence\, electron - (nonbonding\, electrons + \frac{Bonding\,electrons}{2})

From the structure, Nitrogen has no non bonding electrons. Nitrogen has four bonds and each bond corresponds to 2 electrons. Hence, nitrogen have eight bonding electrons and five valence electrons.

Formal\,charge\,on\,nitrogen = 5-[0+ \frac{8}{2}]= +1

Therefore, The formal charge on nitrogen in NO_{2}Cl is +1.

What is freshly pumped oil called?
algol13

Answer:

When the drill hits oil, some of the oil rises from the ground high into the air. This immediate release of oil is known as a "gusher." Once a reservoir has been located, pumps are used to extract the oil.
