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

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.
