Ephedrine, a central nervous system stimulant, is used in nasal sprays as a decongestant. This compound is a weak organic base:
C10H15ON (aq) + H2O (l) -> C10H15ONH+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
A 0.035 M solution of ephedrine has a pH of 11.33.
a) What are the equilibrium concentrations of C10H15ON, C10H15ONH<span>+, and OH-</span>?
b) Calculate <span>Kb</span> for ephedrine.
c(C₁₀H₁₅NO) = 0,035 M.<span>
pH = 11,33.
pOH = 14 - 11,33 = 2,67.
[OH</span>⁻] =
10∧(-2,67) = 0,00213 M.<span>
[OH</span>⁻] =
[C₁₀H₁₅NOH⁺] = 0,00213 M.<span>
[</span>C₁₀H₁₅NO] = 0,035 M - 0,00213 M = 0,03287 M.<span>
Kb = [OH</span>⁻] ·
[C₁₀H₁₅NOH⁺] / [C₁₀H₁₅NO].<span>
Kb = (</span>0,00213 M)² / 0,03287 M = 1,38·10⁻⁴.
You would use the formula for Boyle's Law:
(P1) (V1) = (P2) (V2)
(101.5) (2.0) = (P2?) (.75)
*P2 = 270kPa (You're allowed 2 significant figures)
P = Pressure
V = Volume
Answer:
The aquarium is covered and not in sunlight
Diminishing
Explanation:
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life and activities on earth. The aquarium is no exception.
Green plants manufactures food in the process of photosynthesis by combining carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
- This food provides all other lives with energy through the break down of energy held in carbon chains.
Is the aquarium now in sunlight or is it covered?
Here is a feeding relationship between plants and fish in a pond. The producer here is the plants. The consumer is the fish.
Using carbon dioxide and water, plants manufactures food. When the amount of carbon starts decreasing it shows that the aquarium is covered.
The source of dissolved carbon dioxide in water is the fish which gives off this gas as it respires. When the fish ceases to respire, it does not have enough food and might have died thereby decreasing carbon dioxide levels.
What is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish as a result?
The energy levels in both plant and fish will begin to reduce because the plant is unable to produce food which the fish depends on.
This will furnish a rapid decline in the energy available in these living organisms since the plants are not able to produce.
E=mc (square) E= mass times capacity squared
<span>In the electron cloud model, the denser areas represent that there is a great probability that a good number of electrons are ganged up or crowded in that area. The electrons affect the density of some parts of the electron cloud when they condense in those locations.</span>
