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

Which of the following lists elements in order of increasing malleability?
hodyreva [135]

Malleability is the property due to which substances tend to hammered into thin sheets when pressure is applied. Malleability is observed in metal as the metal atoms are bound by metallic bonds. The layers of metal atoms can roll over each other without breaking the metal bond when pressure is applied. In the periodic table malleability decreases as the metallic nature decreases. Among the given metals Al is the most metallic element, followed by Zinc an Carbon is a non metal. Therefore, the order of increasing malleability will be C, Zn, Al
