A student dissolved 1.805g of a monoacidic weak base in 55mL of water. Calculate the equilibrium pH for the weak monoacidic base

(B) solution. Show all your work.
pKb for the weak base = 4.82.

Molar mass of the weak base = 82.0343g/mole.

Note: pKa = -logKa

pKb = -logKb

pH + pOH = 14

[H+ ] [OH- ] = 10^-14

Answer:

11.39

Explanation:

Given that:

pK_{b}=4.82

K_{b}=10^{-4.82}=1.5136\times 10^{-5}

Given that:

Mass = 1.805 g

Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.805\ g}{82.0343\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.022\ moles

Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity=\frac{0.022}{0.055}

Concentration = 0.4 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:

                                  B +   H₂O    ⇄     BH⁺ +        OH⁻

At t=0                        0.4                          -              -

At t =equilibrium     (0.4-x)                        x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant is:

K_{b}=\frac {\left [ BH^{+} \right ]\left [ {OH}^- \right ]}{[B]}

1.5136\times 10^{-5}=\frac {x^2}{0.4-x}

x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4

Solving for x, we get:

x = 2.4606×10⁻³  M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61

<u>pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39</u>

Answer:

84672 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 72 m

Combined mass (m) = 120 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

We can obtain the energy by using the following formula:

E = mgh

Where

E => is the energy.

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

m => is the mass.

h => is the height.

E = 120 × 9.8 × 72

E = 84672 J

Thus, the energy is 84672 J
