Answer:
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]
Explanation:
According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:
- An acid is a substance that donates H⁺.
- A base is a substance that accepts H⁺.
When methylamine reacts with water, it behaves as a Brönsted-Lowry base, according to the following reaction.
CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
The basic equilibrium constant (Kb) is:
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]
A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.

To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so
that we can use Graham’s law:
vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)
where,
<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A (HBR)</span>
vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)
MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)
MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu
We know from the given that:
vA / vB = 1 / 1.49
So,
1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)
MW_B = 36.44 g/mol
Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this
must be in the form of HX.
HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:
x = 35.44 g/mol
From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of
35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:
HCl
Answer:
a) ammonium ion
b) amide ion
Explanation:
The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.
First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.
The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.
The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.
The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.
