Answer:

Explanation:

Caffeine is a weak base with pKb = 10.4

Kb = 10⁻¹⁰°⁴ = 3.98 x 10⁻¹¹

molecular weight of caffeine = 194.2

455 x 10⁻³ g / L = 455 x 10⁻³ / 194.2 moles / L

concentration of given solution a = 2.343 x 10⁻³ M

Let the caffeine be represented by B .

B    +   H₂O =  BH + OH⁻

a - x                   x        x  

x² / ( a - x ) = Kb

x² / ( a - x ) = 3.98 x 10⁻¹¹

x is far less than a so a -x is almost equal to a

x² = 3.98 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.343 x 10⁻³ = 9.32  x 10⁻¹⁴

x = 3.05 x 10⁻⁷

[ OH⁻ ] = 3.05 x 10⁻⁷

pOH = - log ( 3.05 x 10⁻⁷ )

= 7 - log 3.05

= 7 - 0.484 = 6.5

pH = 14 - 6.5 = 7.5

Answer:

solution:-a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility.

solute:-is a substance, usually a solid, that is dissolved in a solution, which is usually a liquid.

solvent:-substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution.

polar molecule:-is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined space.

The reaction AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) is a(n) ______________ reaction.
Temka [501]

Answer : The correct option is, (e) precipitation reaction

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Precipitation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt formed when two aqueous solutions are combined.

The insoluble salt that settle down in the solution is known an precipitate.

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Acid-base reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product.

The given chemical reaction is:

AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)

This reaction is a precipitation reaction in which the two aqueous solution silver nitrate and sodium chloride combined to give sodium nitrate solution and silver chloride as a precipitate. In precipitation reaction there is no changes in oxidation state of the element.

Hence, the correct option is, (e) precipitation
