Answer:

2.17x10⁻¹⁰ = Kb1

1.69x10⁻¹³ = Kb2

Explanation:

Oxalic acid, C₂O₄H₂, has two intercambiable protons, its equilibriums are:

C₂O₄H₂ ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻ + H⁺ Ka1 = 5.9x10⁻²

C₂O₄H⁻ ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 = 4.6x10⁻⁵

Oxalate ion, C₂O₄²⁻, has as equilibriums:

C₂O₄²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻ + OH⁻ Kb1

C₂O₄H⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ + OH⁻ Kb2

Also, you can know: KaₓKb = Kw

<em>Where Kw is 1x10⁻¹⁴</em>

Thus:

Kw = Kb2ₓKa1

1x10⁻¹⁴ =Kb2ₓ4.6x10⁻⁵

<h3>2.17x10⁻¹⁰ = Kb1</h3>

And:

Kw = Kb1ₓKa2

1x10⁻¹⁴ =Kb1ₓ5.9x10⁻²

<h3>1.69x10⁻¹³ = Kb1</h3>

<em>That is because the inverse reaction of, for example, Ka1:</em>

<em>C₂O₄H⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ K = 1 / Ka1</em>

<em>+ H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻ K = Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴</em>

<em>= </em>

<em>C₂O₄H⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄H₂ + OH⁻ Kb2 = Kw × 1/Ka1</em>

Make a poem about compounds​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

<h3>A Werewolf</h3>

___________

Poem with Compound Words

------------------------------------------

whenever there's a full moon,

I cannot overlook,

some alterations in my ways,

and changes in my look.

my werewolf hair grows everywhere,

my werewolf teeth get long,

my eyesight gets much keener and

I'm muscular and strong.

I get to roam around outside,

the moonlight makes me howl,

these otherworldly sound effects

mean I am on the prawl.

I see the moon is round and full,

I'm moonstruck by the sight,

I've made some telltale changes-so, you'd best stay in tonight.

If water has no color, why does your hair get darker when water makes contact with it?
Simora [160]

Answer:

The water makes your individual hairs stick close together. ... When more light is absorbed by your wet hair, less light gets reflected back to your eyes. The result is that your hair appears darker than when it's dry.

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.
