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

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl
kap26 [50]

Cl is stable as a diatomic molecule where the 2 Cl atoms are held together by a covalent bond

molar mass of the diatomic molecule is 70.9 g/mol

therefore 70.9 g of Cl₂ is - 1 mol

then 140 g of Cl₂ is - 1/70.9 x 140 = 1.97 mol

there are 1.97 mol of Cl₂ present
