The enthalpy of an intermediate step should be manipulated when used to produce an overall equation by using the Hess's law. You could multiply the enthalpy by -1 if this equation is reversed in theory.
Actual yield/theoretical yield x 100
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
