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 represents radiant energy being converted to chemical energy?
Arte-miy333 [17]
ANSWER

The correct answer is A

EXPLANATION

Plants manufacture their on food by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants trap radiant energy from the sun by the help of chlorophyll in the leaves.

Radiant energy with other raw materials such as water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts is converted to food (in the form of starch) which contains chemical energy.

What is the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio (rC/rA) for an octahedral interstitial lattice site?
mash [69]

Answer:

0. 414

Explanation:

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites.

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites are in a plane parallel to the base plane between two compact planes and project to the center of an elementary triangle of the base plane.

The octahedral sites are located halfway between the two planes. They are vertical to the locations of the spheres of a possible plane. There are, therefore, as many octahedral sites as there are atoms in a compact network.

The Octahedral interstitial void ratio range is 0.414 to 0.732. Thus, the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio for an octahedral interstitial lattice site is 0. 414.
