Well, first we must remember that

pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

This is because

K_{a}*K_{b}=10^{-14}

-log(K_{a}*K_{b})=-log(10^{-14})\\-logK_{a}+-logK_{b}=-log(10^{-14})\\pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

So then

pK_{b}=14-pK_{a}=14-3.2=1.8

Answer : The value of pK_b is, 10.8

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the value of K_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is:

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of pK_a in this expression, we get:

3.2=-\log (K_a)

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-4}

Now we have to calculate the value of K_b.

Formula used :

K_a\times K_b=K_w

K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

K_b=\frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{6.3\times 10^{-4}}

K_b=1.5\times 10^{-11}

Now we have to calculate the value of pK_b.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_b is:

pK_b=-\log (K_b)

Now put the value of K_b in this expression, we get:

pK_b=-\log (1.5\times 10^{-11})

pK_b=10.8

Therefore, the value of pK_b is, 10.8

G. Amount of charge required to reduce
Nady [450]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{c) 4 F}}

Explanation:

1. Write the skeleton equation for the half-reaction

NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

2. Balance all atoms other than H and O

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

3. Balance O by adding H₂O molecules to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

4. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

The amount of charge required to reduce 2 mol of NO₃⁻ is 8 F

\text{The amount of charge required to reduce 1 mol of NO$_{3}^{-}$ is \boxed{\textbf{4 F}}}

Drupady [299]
<span>It is the valence orbit that controls the electrical properties of the atom. The valence electron is referred to as a "free electron.' Valence electrons have the highest energy of all electrons in an atom; they are also the most reactive, meaning they are usually the electrons involved in bonding. When silicon atoms combine to form a solid, they arrange themselves into an orderly pattern called a crystal.</span>
