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

Suggest the methods used to separate the following:
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Separation method for various ingredients are

1. Paneer from curdled milk.  - Filtration

2. Chalk powder from water.  - Filtration

3. Sand from salt solution. - Evaporation

4. Saw dust from water.  - Skim off, sieve or filter

5. Tea leaves from brew. - Filtration.

Explanation:

By the help of a muslin cloth the paneer is separated from the curdled milk, the process is called as the filtration. The paneer will remain in the cloth and curdled milk will be removed. Separation of chalk powder from water is very easy by the process of filtration, after the filtration the chalk powder retentate and the filtrate obtained is the water in absence of chalk.  Salt and sand water separation can be done with the help of evaporation. Separation of the saw dust from water takes place by the method of sieving or sedimentation. The tea leaves are separated from brew by filtration.

Two tons of water is pumped into a tank 15 ft. High in 5 minutes. Determine the power output of the pump. (Note: One ton is equa
Semmy [17]

Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s
