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

What is happening to the temperature of the substance BEFORE AND AFTER the phase changes?
Neporo4naja [7]
First off, you must realize that the phase changes are marked by the points B and D on the graph. They are level because all of the energy (or heat) being added is being consumed by the physical process. So The temperature is increasing before the phase change, and after the phase change. The moments before and after are represented by points A, C, and E.

Which of the following metals will react with water to produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas?
Ksivusya [100]
The answer would be: K

Kalium or Potassium is one of the metal that located in the first column of the periodic table. It was a strong base with one valence. If react with water it would have an equation:
2K + 2H2O = 2KOH + H2
The kalium hydroxide will form ion if put on the aqueous state. It will become K+ and OH-, thus increasing the water pH.
