Answer: Kb = 3.15 × 10 ⁻⁴

Explanation:


This is how you calculate Kb for this reaction.

1) Equilibrium equation:

CH₃NH₂ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺ + OH⁻

2) Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺]  [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂] ↔ all the spieces in equilibrium


3) From the stoichiometry [CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻]

Then, Kb = [OH⁻]  [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂] = [OH⁻]² / [CH₃NH₂]

4) You get [OH⁻] from the pH in this way:

pOH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 11.40 = 2.60

pOH = - log [OH⁻] = 2.60 ⇒ [OH⁻] = 10^(-2.6) = 0.002512

5) [CH₃NH₂] in equilibrium is given: 0.0200M


6) Now compute:

Kb = (0.002512)² / 0.0200 = 3.15 × 10 ⁻⁴

What isotope is the product of the alpha (*2He) nuclear decay of Radon-222 (222U)?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Iron 3 oxide and carbon react to form iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the equation.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

Explanation:

First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.

Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe  + CO2

The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C   ==>     Fe  + 3 CO2

Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe  + 3 CO2

And you are done.

Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. Give the direction of the reaction, if K >> 1. The forward reaction i
anygoal [31]

Answer:

A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)

B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)

Explanation:

A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as

K=\frac{Products}{reagents}

In any case  

aA +Bb  equilibrium Cd +dD

where K is:

K= \frac{[C]^{c}[D]^{d}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

[] is molar concentration.

If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.

B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation

ln(\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}})=\frac{-delta H^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})

Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.  

Clearing the equation for K_{2} we get:

K_{2}=\frac{K_{1}}{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}

Here we can study two cases: when delta H^{o} is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)

For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so K_{2} is greater that K_{1} and the forward reaction is favored.

When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so K_{2} will be less than K_{1} the forward reactions is not favored.  

{e^{\frac{-deltaH^{o}}{R}*(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{1}{T_{2}})}}
