Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a weak base with a pKb of 10.4. Calculate the pH of a solution containing a caffeine concentration of 41
RSB [31]

Answer:

pH → 7.47

Explanation:

Caffeine is a sort of amine, which is a weak base. Then, this pH should be higher than 7.

Caffeine + H₂O  ⇄  Caffeine⁺  +  OH⁻      Kb

1 mol of caffeine in water can give hydroxides and protonated caffeine.

We convert the concentration from mg/L to M

415 mg = 0.415 g

0.415 g / 194.19 g/mol = 2.14×10⁻³ mol

[Caffeine] = 2.14×10⁻³  M

Let's calculate pH. As we don't have Kb, we can obtain it from pKb.

- log Kb = pKb → 10^-pKb = Kb

10⁻¹⁰'⁴ = 3.98×10⁻¹¹

We go to equilibrium:

Caffeine + H₂O  ⇄  Caffeine⁺  +  OH⁻      Kb

Initially we have 2.14×10⁻³ moles of caffeine, so, after the equilibrium we may have (2.14×10⁻³ - x)

X will be the amount of protonated caffeine and OH⁻

     Caffeine     +    H₂O  ⇄  Caffeine⁺  +  OH⁻      Kb

   (2.14×10⁻³ - x)                         x                x

We make the expression for Kb:

3.98×10⁻¹¹ = x² / (2.14×10⁻³ - x)

We can missed the -x in denominator, because Kb it's a very small value.

So: 3.98×10⁻¹¹ = x² / 2.14×10⁻³

√(3.98×10⁻¹¹ . 2.14×10⁻³) = x → 2.92×10⁻⁷

That's the [OH⁻].  - log [OH⁻] = pOH

- log 2.92×10⁻⁷ = 6.53 → pOH

14 - pOH = pH → 14 - 6.53 = 7.47

What do you mean by Latent heat of evaporation! (not vaporisation/fusion) Kindly tell from Science NCERT class 9.
Ne4ueva [31]
Since none answered from Indian NCERT yet, let me give a simple definition from ICSE..
Latent Heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to convert unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapour state WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ITS TEMPERATURE.... 
hope this helps!

A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called
grandymaker [24]
Answer:
             <span>A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called <em>cis</em> Isomer.

Explanation:
                   Geometric isomerism takes place about the double bond in alkenes when the alkyl groups are either situated at the same side (<em>cis</em>) or are situated opposite (<em>trans</em>) to each other.

Example:
               <em>cis</em>-2-Butene (highlighted red)

               <em>trans</em>-2-Butene (highlighted blue)</span>
