Answer:

pKb = 10.96

Explanation:

Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:

H₂Tart  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   +  HTart⁻         Ka1

HTart⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   +  Tart⁻²           Ka2

When we anaylse the base, we have

Tart⁻²   +  H₂O  ⇄  OH⁻  +  HTart⁻       Kb1

HTart⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  OH⁻  +    H₂Tart          Kb2

Remember that Ka1 . Kb2  = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14

Kb2 = Kw / Ka1  →   1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴  = 1.08×10⁻¹¹

so pKb = - log Kb2   → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96

13. How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction? (The reaction is unbalanced.) Fe(s) + I'(aq) 12(s) + Fe3+(aq)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 6

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

Fe(s)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq)

Half reactions of oxidation and reduction are :

Oxidation : Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 2I^-(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow I_2         .......(2)

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, we get:

Oxidation : 2Fe(s)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}+6e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 6I^-(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 3I_2         .......(2)

The overall balanced chemical reaction will be:

2Fe(s)+6I^-(aq)\rightarrow 3I_2(s)+2Fe^{3+}(aq)

From this reaction we conclude that the electrons are getting transferred from iron to iodine and the number of electrons transferred are 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 6

What is the entropy change for the freezing process of 1 mole of liquid methanol at its freezing temperature (–97.6˚C) and 1 atm
Rudiy27

Answer : The value of change in entropy for freezing process is, -18.07 J/mol.K

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{freezing}}{T_f}

where,

\Delta S = change in entropy

\Delta H_{fus} = change in enthalpy of fusion = 3.17 kJ/mol

As we know that:

\Delta H_{fus}=-\Delta H_{freezing}=-3.17kJ/mol=-3170J/mol

T_f = freezing point temperature = -97.6^oC=273+(-97.6)=175.4K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{freezing}}{T_m}

\Delta S=\frac{-3170J/mol}{175.4K}

\Delta S=-18.07J/mol.K

Therefore, the value of change in entropy for freezing process is, -18.07 J/mol.K
