Answer: The pH at equivalence point for the given solution is 5.59.

Explanation:

At the equivalence point,

            n_{HNO_{3}} = n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}}

So, first we will calculate the moles of CH_{3}NH_{2} as follows.

      n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = 0.764 M \times \frac{110 ml}{1000 ml/L}      

                     = 0.0845 mol

Now, volume of HNO_{3} present will be calculated as follows.

          Volume = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{Molarity}}

                        = \frac{0.0845}{0.4469 M}

                        = 0.1891 L

Therefore, the total volume will be the sum of the given volumes as follows.

                    110 ml + 189.1 ml

                  = 299.13 ml

or,               = 0.2991 L

Now, [CH_{3}NH_{3}^{+}] = \frac{0.0845 mol}{0.2991 L}

                        = 0.283 M

Chemical equation for this reaction is as follows.

     CH_{3}NH_{3}^{+} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}NH_{2} + H_{3}O^{+}

As,      k_{a} = \frac{k_{w}}{k_{b}}        

                     = \frac{10^{-14}}{10^{-3.36}}

                     = 2.29 \times 10^{-11}

Now,   [HNO_{3}] = \sqrt{k_{a}[CH_{3}NH_{3}^{+}]}

                      = \sqrt{2.29 \times 10^{-11} \times 0.283}

                      = 2.546 \times 10^{-6}

Now, pH will be calculated as follows.

              pH = -log [H_{3}O^{+}]

                    = -log (2.546 \times 10^{-6})

                    = 5.59

Thus, we can conclude that pH at equivalence point for the given solution is 5.59.

Which metal will more easily lose an electron sodium or potassium?
sergey [27]
<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

n acid with a pKa of 8.0 is present in a solution with a pH of 6.0. What is the ratio of the protonated to the deprotonated form
Nady [450]

Answer : The ratio of the protonated to the deprotonated form of the acid is, 100

Explanation : Given,

pK_a=8.0

pH = 6.0

To calculate the ratio of the protonated to the deprotonated form of the acid we are using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Deprotonated]}{[Protonated]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.0=8.0+\log \frac{[Deprotonated]}{[Protonated]}

\frac{[Deprotonated]}{[Protonated]}=0.01  

As per question, the ratio of the protonated to the deprotonated form of the acid will be:

\frac{[Protonated]}{[Deprotonated]}=100  

Therefore, the ratio of the protonated to the deprotonated form of the acid is, 100

The process where bacteria takes nitrogen out of the air and makes it usable for other organisms is called
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The process is called Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

The nitrogen fixation is a process carried out by some prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria), specifically those have the presence of the nitrogenase enzyme. The bacteria absorb the atmospheric nitrogen (N2) from the roots of plants, and the nitrogenase enzyme, with the help of two proteins that act as electron donors and acceptors (nitrogenase complex) reduce the nitrogen to ammonia (NH3), then the ammonia is ionized to NH4+ (ammonium). Followed by that, the ammonia is oxidated to nitrates and nitrites, which are finally absorbed again by plants.

Can somebody help? Do not answer if you don't know.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

10.8amu

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Abundance of B - 10  = 20% = 0.2

Abundance of B - 11  = 80% = 0.8

Unknown:

Atomic mass of Boron = ?

Solution:

The atomic mass of Boron can be can be calculated using the expression below;

 Atomic mass  = (abundance of B - 10 x mass of isotope B - 10 ) +( abundance of  B - 11 x mass of isotope B- 11)

 Atomic mass  = (0.2 x 10) + (0.8 x 11) = 2 + 8.8  = 10.8amu
