Answer:

The new pressure is 40 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the gas = 20.0 L

Pressure of the gas = 10.0 atm

The volume decreases to 5.0 L

Step 2: Calculate the new pressure

P1*V1 = P2*V2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure of the gas = 10.0 atm

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 20.0 L

⇒with P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V2 = the decreased volume = 5.0 L

10.0 atm * 20.0 L = P2 * 5.0 L

P2 = 200 / 5.0

P2 = 40 atm

Since the volume is 4x smaller, the pressure is 4x more

The new pressure is 40 atm

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
