Answer:

Explanation:

Boron is a member of group 13. The highest energy sub-level is usually found on the outermost shell of the atom of the element involved.

For a group 13 element, its outermost shell configuration is ns2 np1. The electronic configuration for boron is; 1s2 2s2 2p1.

Hence the highest energy sub-level in boron is 2p.

The pKb of the base cyclohexamine, C6H11NH2, is 3.36. What is the pKa of the conjugate acid, C6H11NH3

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10.64

Explanation:

Let's consider the basic reaction of cyclohexamine, C₆H₁₁NH₂.

C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻ pKb = 3.36

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ is its conjugate acid, since it donates H⁺ to form C₆H₁₁NH₂. C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ acid reaction is as follows:

C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₁NH₂(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) pKa

We can find the pKa of C₆H₁₁NH₃⁺ using the following expression.

pKa + pKb = 14.00

pKa = 14.00 - pKb = 14.00 - 3.36 = 10.64

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas

Gwar [14]

The equation structure for the above mentioned reaction can be written as

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Considering the above reaction, When Boron sulfide, reacts with water more violently to form boric acid and hydrogen sulfide gas.

$B_{2} S_{3}+H_{2} O \rightarrow H_{3} B O_{3}+H_{2} S \uparrow$

In order to balance the equation, we can do as follows.There are 2 B - atoms on both sides of the equation, but only 2 H - atoms, and one O - atom on LHS, so we have to balance it by putting 6 in front of water and 2 in front of Boric acid and 3 in front of hydrogen sulphide gas, so that we have 2 B - atoms, 3 - S atoms, 12 H - atoms on both sides of the equation, and it is balanced. Balanced equation is given as,

$B_{2} S_{3}+6 H_{2} O \rightarrow 2 H_{3} B O_{3}+3 H_{2} S \uparrow$

Thus a Balanced equation of the above mentioned reaction is written.
