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

How many atoms of oxygen (O) are in one formula unit of Mg(NO3)2?
miv72 [106K]
We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

Which option is an example of a chemical property?
Alona [7]
Answer:
The ability to decompose
Explanation:
A property is a chemical property when it changes the chemical structure of a substance after a reaction.
Density and color are both physical properties.
Even though melting point may seem like a chemical property, when something melts, only the physical state changes, and the chemical structure does not change, and therefore, is a physical property.
The ability to decompose is a chemical property. When something decomposes, the chemical structure of many molecules change, and therefore, is classified as a chemical property.

Calculate the number of C atoms in 0.190 mole C6H14O.<br> can anyone help me on this one?
likoan [24]
In 0.190 mole of C6H14O, there is 0.190*6 (number of C in one molecule) = 1.140 mole of C atoms. The total number of C atoms = 1.14 * 6*10^{23} (atoms of C in one mole) = 6.84*10^{23} atoms.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

The relatively high boiling point of water is due to water having
Verizon [17]
The answer should be hydrogen bonding. Water only has oxygen and hydrogen in it, which are both nonmetals, so you know the answer cannot be metallic or ionic. It also cannot be nonpolar because the electronegativity of the oxygens will make the molecule polar. You can also know it is hydrogen bonding because it can only take place when a hydrogen is attached to an oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen. These bonds are very strong attractions, so the molecules are extremely hard to pull apart, creating a high boiling point. Hope that helps!
