Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms are held together by covalent bonds when they share electrons between themselves.

Covalent bonds are bonds that are formed between non-metals usually with a low electronegative difference between them. In this bond type, two non-metals donate electrons which are shared between the combining atoms and this makes them both like the corresponding noble gases. The shared electrons is what forms the covalent bonds.

An example of covalent bond is HCl, H₂S, SO₂, CO₂, O₂ etc

Given the two reactions PbCl2(aq)⇌Pb2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq), K3 = 1.89×10−10, and AgCl(aq)⇌Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq), K4 = 1.25×10−4, what is the

Answer:

$1.2\times 10^{-2}$

Explanation:

The given reactions are:

PbCl2(aq)⇌Pb2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq) $K_3 = 1.89\times 10^{-10}$

AgCl(aq)⇌Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq) $K_4 = 1.25\times 10^{-4}$

Required reaction is:

PbCl2(aq)+2Ag+(aq)⇌2AgCl(aq)+Pb2+(aq)

$K_f = \frac{K_3}{K_4^2}\\=\frac{1.89\times 10^{-10}}{1.25\times 10^{-4}}^2\\=1.2\times 10^{-2}$

The pKb of the base cyclohexamine, C6H11NH2, is 3.36. What is the pKa of the conjugate acid, C6H11NH3

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻ pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64
