A theory is a proposed explanation for an observation
Answer:
Please find the answer to the question below
Explanation:
In chemistry, the following mathematical formula is used to calculate the number of moles contained by a substance:
mole = mass of substance (g)/molar mass of substance (g/mol)
Molar mass of salicylic acid (C7H6O3) = 12(7) + 1(6) + 16(3)
= 84 + 6 + 48
= 138g/mol
Mass = 5.50grams
mole = 5.5/138
mole = 0.039
Approximately, the number of moles of 5.5grams of salicylic acid is 0.04moles. This is in accordance with the mole value (0.04) given in this question.
Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
Answer:
pH = 10.38
Explanation:
∴ molar mass C9H13N = 135.21 g/mol
∴ pKb = - log Kb = 4.2
⇒ Kb = 6.309 E-5 = [OH-][C9H20O3N+] / [C9H13N]
∴ <em>C</em> sln = (205 mg/L )*(g/1000 mg)*(mol/135.21 g) = 1.516 E-3 M
mass balance:
⇒ <em>C</em> sln = 1.516 E-3 = [C9H20O3N+] + [C9H13N]......(1)
charge balance:
⇒ [C9H20O3N+] + [H3O+] = [OH-]; [H3O+] is neglected, come from water
⇒ [C9H20O3N+] = [OH-].......(2)
(2) in (1):
⇒ [C9H13N] = 1.516 E-3 - [OH-]
replacing in Kb:
⇒ Kb = 6.3096 E-5 = [OH-]² / (1.516 E-3 - [OH-])
⇒ [OH-]² + 6.3096 E-5[OH] - 7.26613 E-8 = 0
⇒ [OH-] = 2.3985 E-4 M
∴ pOH = - Log [OH-]
⇒ pOH = 3.62
⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3.62 = 10.38
