Answer:

New predators and not a lot of food

Explanation:

If new predators come than they can eat the insects and go extinct. Also if there is not a lot if food than the will die because they have nothing to eat.

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb
Stolb23 [73]

0.040 mol / dm³. (2 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} produces \text{OH}^{-} rather than \text{H}^{+} when it dissolves in water. The concentration of \text{OH}^{-} will likely be more useful than that of \text{H}^{+} for the calculations here.

Finding the value of [\text{OH}^{-}] from pH:

Assume that \text{pK}_w = 14,

\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}.

[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

Solve for [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}:

\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}.

Also, for each mole of \text{OH}^{-} produced, one mole of (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+} was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3},

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b},

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

Match the following with their correct molecular weight. 2-butanone Propyl acetate 4-methyl-2-pentanone Butyl acetate Methanol E
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

2-butanone = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate  = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol  = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2:

2-butanone = C4H8O

⇒ 4*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 16.00 = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = C5H10O2

⇒ 5*12.01 + 10*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = C6H12O

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 16.00 = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = C6H12O2

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = CH3OH = CH4O

⇒ 12.01 + 4*1.01 + 16.00 = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = C2H5OH = C2H6O

⇒ 2*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 16.00 = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

What are the chemical properties of oxygen?
wlad13 [49]
Hmm.... Oxygen support combustion. Other than that, rusting occur when oxygen is combined with metal. When iron rusts, it combines with oxygen. Hope it helps.

Korvikt [17]
Moving the electron away from the nucleus requires energy, so the electrons in the outer shell will have more energy than ones in the inner shell. Electrons always have a charge of -1, so the charge in the inner and outer shell will be the same. Therefore the answer is 3
