A base has Kb of 2.5 x 10-11. which of the following statements is true?(1 point)

1 answer:

3 0

I disagree with the answer pick of D. If you have a neutral pH 7 solution and you proceed to add a base even with an relatively insignificantly low Kb your solution would still be more basic then acidic. The answer should be b which is true that the base only ionizes slightly in aqueous solution. This is also truer to the definition of what Kb represents.

exactly 1mol of n2o4 is placed in an empty 1 l container. if at equilibrium n2o4 is dissociated 20%, what is the value of equili

Answer:

K = 0.2

Explanation:

Based on the chemical dissociation of N₂O₄:

N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The equilibrium constant, K, of the reaction is:

K = [NO₂]² / [N₂O₄]

Now, if 20% of N₂O₄ is dissociated, 80% remains as N₂O₄ = 0.8mol/L = 0.8M

as 20% is dissociated, 0.2moles of N₂O₄ were dissociated and 0.2*2 = 0.4mol/L of NO₂ are produced.
