K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3

Amphetamine (C9H13N)(C9H13N) is a weak base with a pKbpKb of 4.2. You may want to reference (Pages 710 - 713) Section 16.8 while
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

pH = 10.38

Explanation:

  • C9H13N ↔ C9H20O3N+  +  OH-

∴ molar mass C9H13N = 135.21 g/mol

∴ pKb = - log Kb = 4.2

⇒ Kb = 6.309 E-5 = [OH-][C9H20O3N+] / [C9H13N]

∴ <em>C</em> sln = (205 mg/L )*(g/1000 mg)*(mol/135.21 g) = 1.516 E-3 M

mass balance:

⇒ <em>C</em> sln = 1.516 E-3 = [C9H20O3N+] + [C9H13N]......(1)

charge balance:

⇒ [C9H20O3N+] + [H3O+] = [OH-]; [H3O+] is neglected, come from water

⇒ [C9H20O3N+] = [OH-].......(2)

(2) in (1):

⇒ [C9H13N] = 1.516 E-3 - [OH-]

replacing in Kb:

⇒ Kb = 6.3096 E-5 = [OH-]² / (1.516 E-3 - [OH-])

⇒ [OH-]² + 6.3096 E-5[OH] - 7.26613 E-8 = 0

⇒ [OH-] = 2.3985 E-4 M

∴ pOH = - Log [OH-]

⇒ pOH = 3.62

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3.62 = 10.38

What is 0.13592 in scientific notation
mel-nik [20]

to write 0,0045 in scientific notation, we will have to move the decimal point three point to right, which literally means multiplying by 1000=103 . Hence in scientific notation 0.0045=4.5×10−3 (note that as we have moved decimal three point to right we are multiplying by 10−3 this is an example
