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>

Explain why uranium must be enriched to be used in a nuclear power plant.
galben [10]

Answer:

The nuclear fuel used in a nuclear reactor needs to have a higher concentration of the U 235 isotope than that which exists in natural uranium ore. U235 when concentrated (or "enriched") is fissionable in light-water reactors (the most common reactor design in the USA).

If a solution is given to you, how will you determine whether it is acid,base or salt​
12345 [234]

Answer:

If your lab has litmus paper, you can use it to determine your solution's pH. When you place a drop of a solution on the litmus paper, the paper changes color based on the pH of the solution. Once the color changes, you can compare it to the color chart on the paper's package to find the pH.

Explanation:

A solution's pH will be a number between 0 and 14. A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale.

For example, If Solution A has a pH of 3 and Solution B has a pH of 1, then Solution B has 100 times as many hydrogen ions than A and is therefore 100 times more acidic.

Which processes produce solute ions in a solution?
bonufazy [111]

The answer for this question is B) Ionization and Dissociation because Dissociation happens, charged particles form (ions), and since the ions didn't exist before the substance was dissolved, this process is called IONIZATION.   It is the process that involves the formation of ions, a conversion of a substance into ions.
