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

.A gas occupies 25,3 mL at a pressure of 152 kPa. Find the volume if the pressure is
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

47.36mL

Explanation:

Using Boyles law equation, which states that:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

V1 = initial volume (mL)

V2 = final volume (mL)

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

Based on the provided information, V1 = 25.3mL, P1 = 152 kPa, V2 = ?, P2 = 0.804atm

First, we need to convert 152kPa to atm by dividing by 101

1kPa = 0.0099atm

152kPa = 1.505atm

P1V1 = P2V2

1.505 × 25.3 = 0.804 × V2

38.08 = 0.804V2

V2 = 38.08/0.804

V2 = 47.36mL
