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

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Actual yield = 20.03g

Explanation:

% yield = 100.\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}% yield = 100. \frac{actual \ yield}{theoretical \ yield}

Actual yield = % yield.(theoretical yield) / 100

Actual yield = 75.26.7/100

Actual yield = 20.025

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot
forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer:  The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when  one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example:  NaCl is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming Na^+ and Cl^-

How many moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH?<br> Na2O + H2O --&gt; 2NaOH
navik [9.2K]

Answer: 2.8 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation below shows that 1 mole of sodium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide respectively.

Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

1 mole of H2O = 2 moles of NaOH

Let Z moles of H2O = 5.6 mole of NaOH

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

5.6 moles x 1 mole= Z x 2 moles

5.6 = 2Z

Divide both sides by 2

5.6/2 = 2Z/2

2.8 = Z

Thus, 2.8moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH
