A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.

Chemistry

Reika [66]3 years ago

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Where are the electrons inside an atom?
Nataly [62]

Answer: B.They are arranged in energy levels

Explanation: Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom, and are not spread around equally throughout an atom because there are a different amount of electrons that can fit in each energy level or electron shell (both are the same thing). For example the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third can hold up to 18, and so on represented by the equation 2(n^2)

A 100.0 ml sample of 0.18 m hclo4 is titrated with 0.27 m lioh. determine the ph of the solution after the addition of 100.0 ml
Naddika [18.5K]
(I think you have a mistake in your question as the addition is 30mL, not 100mL)
when PH = - ㏒[H+]
and here we have HClO4 is the strong acid
So PH = - ㏒[HClO4]

moles of HClO4 = 0.1 L *0.18 m = 0.018 M
moles of LiOH = 0.03 L * 0.27 m = 0.0081 M
when the total volume = 0.1L + 0.03L =  0.13 L
∴ [HClO4] = (0.018-0.0081)/0.13 L
                 = 0.076 M
PH = -㏒ 0.076
      = 1.12

A mixture consists of saw dust, salt, and pebbles. Which of the following instruments or materials would not be useful in separa
andriy [413]

The screen will not be useful in separating the mixture of saw dust, salt and pebbles.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

The separation of individual elements from the mixture can be done easily if the size of the elements in the mixture is varying significantly. Just like in the present case, the size of sawdust and salt is very small compared to that of pebbles.

So by using sieves having pores of smaller sizes, pebbles can be separated from the mixture as pebbles will not pass through the minute pores. Even depending upon the size of pores, the saw dust can also be separated using it.

Similarly, we can use water also to separate this mixture as sawdust have least density it will float in water surface and pebbles being the highest density will sink and settle in the bottom of the container.

Remaining salt will get dissolved in water which can be obtained by heating the water in order to precipitate the salt. Even filter paper with different mess size will also help in separating this mixture. But as this mixture is not permeable through screen, the screen cannot be used to separate this mixture.

How are heat, temperature, and thermal energy related?​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Heat, temperature, and thermal energy are related because they all work with each other.

Explanation:

First of all, everything start's off with temperature. It starts off low. But when heat is added to it, it rises and the temperature goes up. This causes thermal energy to the objects touching it. The hotter it is the faster the particles move and the more kinetic energy they have.
