Answer:

5.7

Explanation:

(C₂H₅)₃NHCl dissociates according to the following equation.

(C₂H₅)₃NHCl ⇒ (C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ + Cl⁻

The molar ratio of (C₂H₅)₃NHCl to (C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ is 1:1. Then, the concentration of (C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ is Ca = 0.166 M.

(C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ is the conjugate acid of (C₂H₅)₃N. Given the Kb of (C₂H₅)₃N, we can calculate Ka for (C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ using the following expression.

Ka × Kb = Kw

Ka = Kw / Kb

Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ / 5.2 × 10⁻⁴

Ka = 1.9 × 10⁻¹¹

(C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ dissociates according to the following equation.

(C₂H₅)₃NH⁺ ⇄ (C₂H₅)₃N + H⁺

We can calculate [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka) = √(0.166 × 1.9 × 10⁻¹¹) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁶

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 1.8 × 10⁻⁶ = 5.7

Consider the three statements below. Which numbered response contains all the statements that are true and no false statements?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) I, II, and III

Explanation:

For the first statement;

Solvation, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute. if the solvent is water, we call this process hydration.

This means the statement is TRUE.

For the second statement;

The negatively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to  positively-charged ions. In the case of water, the oxygen end is the negatively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

For the third statement;

The positively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to the negatively-charged chloride ions. In the case of water, the hydrogen end is the positively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

Going through the options, we can tell that the correct option is option A.

What is 30-9x2*2-21-4+4
IgorC [24]
Answer:
9 (1-2x²)

Explanation:
The given expression is:
30 - 9x²*2 - 21 - 4 + 4
The first step is to compute the multiplication. This will give:
30 - 18x² - 21 - 4 + 4
Then, we will add like terms as follows:
(30-21-4+4) - 18x²
= 9 - 18x²
Finally, we can take the 9 as a common factor from both terms, this will give:
9 (1-2x²)

Hope this helps :)
