If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pkb of 1.4, what would you expect the molecule to be?

maw [93]

If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pKb of 1.4, the molecule should be a Weak Acid.

Notice this question gives us the pKb of the molecule, not the pKa. Because of this, the pH scale basically gets reversed, so lower numbers in pKb correlate with stronger bases, and higher numbers in pKb correlate with stronger acids - the exact opposite of the pH scale.

It's important to make sure you completely understand the terms of conjugate base, conjugate acid, pKb, pKa, and how they all relate. It's easy to mix up the meanings of these definitions.

Here are the two other pieces of information you need to know to correctly answer this question:

Strong acids have a weak conjugate base.
Strong bases have a weak conjugate acid.

So if the problem says you have a strong conjugate base, then the molecule must be a weak acid. To illustrate this, think of ammonium, NH4+. Ammonium is a weak acid, but the conjugate base of ammonium is ammonia, NH3, which is a reasonably good base.

chegg write a net ionic equation describing the oxidation of no2 2 to no3 2 by o2 in a basic solution.

Marina86 [1]

When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.

NO2→NO^−3

NO2→NO

and do the usual changes

First, balance the two half reactions:

3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−

4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O

Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:

5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−

Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):

3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+

and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:

3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+

This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.

Suppose a 2.95 g of potassium iodide is dissolved in 350. mL of a 62.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Calculate the fin

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer : The final molarity of iodide anion in the solution is 0.0508 M.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $KI$ and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{\text{Mass of }KI}{\text{Molar mass of }KI}$

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{2.95g}{166g/mole}=0.0178mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }AgNO_3=\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.0620M\times 0.350L=0.0217mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given chemical reaction is:

$KI+AgNO_3\rightarrow KNO_3+AgI$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of KI react with 1 mole of $AgNO_3$

So, 0.0178 mole of KI react with 0.0178 mole of $AgNO_3$

From this we conclude that, $AgNO_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and KI is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $AgI$
