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

serious [3.7K]
The reaction of HCl and NaOH is HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O. So the mole number of HCl and NaOH is equal. So the volume of HCl =0.01*0.1/0.02=0.05 L =50 ml. So the answer is D).

a 360mg sample of sugar (molar mass of 180 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to produce 200mL of solution. after the sugar is
Pie
360 mg / 1000    => 0.36 g

molar mass => 180 /mol

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass

0.36 / 180 => 0.002 moles

Volume solution = 200 mL / 1000 => 0.2 L

M = n / V

M = 0.002 / 0.2

M = 0.01 mol/L

hope this helps!
