Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96
The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.
In dilute solutions, the unit osmolarity is being used. It usually has units milliosmols per liter of solution or mOsmol/L. An osmole defines the number of moles of the solute that would have an effect on the osmotic pressure of the solution. Osmolarity is calculated by the product of the molarity and the number of particles in the solution which is 2 for potassium chloride. We calculate as follows:
Osmolarity = molarity (# of particles)250 mosmol/L ( 1 osmol / 1000 osmol) = x moles / .100 L (2)
x moles = 0.0125 mol KCl
mass KCl = 0.0125 mol KCl ( 39 + 35.5 g/mol) = 0.93125 g KCl
