Answer:
pH = 8.34
Explanation:
The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:
H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>
<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>
Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:
pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32
As the pH of amphoteric salts is:
pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2
<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>
Answer:
it will probably flame up or explode or maybe start boiling
DeltaH formation = deltaH of broken bonds - deltaH of formed bonds
Broken bonds: tiple bond N-N and H-H bond
Formed bonds: N-H and N-N bonds
You also have to take note of the molar coefficients
deltaH formation = <span> [(N≡N) + 2 * (H-H)] - [4 * (N-H) + (N-N)]
= (945 + 2*436) - (4*390 + 240)
= 17 kJ/mol
The answer is 17 kJ/mol.</span>
