Answer: The K_b for the weak base is 3.5\times 10^{-3}

Explanation:

A^-+H_2O\rightarrow HA+OH^-

cM                   0          0

c-c\alpha           c\alpha       c\alpha 

So dissociation constant will be:

K_b=\frac{[HA][OH^-]}{[A^-]}

K_b=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Given :

c= 0.0910 M and pH = 10.50

pOH = 14-pH = 14-10.50 = 3.5

Also pOH=-log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=antilog(-3.5)= 3.2\times 10^{-4}M

[OH^-]=c\alpha=3.2\times 10^{-4}

K_b=\frac{(3.2\times 10^{-4})^2}{(0.0910-3.2\times 10^{-4}}

K_b=\frac{(3.2\times 10^{-4})^2}{(0.09068}

K_b=3.5\times 10^{-3}

Thus K_b for the weak base is 3.5\times 10^{-3}

How many moles are in 9.50 x 1022 molecules of CO? Be sure to ALL work below and report your answer using the correct number of
eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.158 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know;

1 mole of a compound = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO will be equivalent to;

= 9.50 x 10^22 molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

= 0.158 moles

Therefore, the number of moles are 0.158 moles

Which statements describe the six elements found in all living things? Check all that apply.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Carbon is the basis of all living things

Nitrogen is found in certain foods

Oxygen and hydrogen combine with each other to form water

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are found in organic compounds

Explanation:

We are all made up of mainly three elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. These three elements are found in every living organism on our planet, and along with a few trace elements, they make up all the nutrients we take in and use to build our bodies and survive.

Nitrogen is primarily found in meats, and this is because nitrogen is a key element in amino acids (which are used to build proteins), however we cannot directly assimilate nitrogen from the air, so we have to assimilate it through amino acids already synthesized in plants, or in proteins found in meat.

The chemical formula for water is H₂O. Seeing the chemical formula, it is obvious that hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements in the water molecule.

In our bodies, we use phosphorus to form our skeleton and help maintain it, sulfur and nitrogen can be found in some amino acids, and carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can be found in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

The atomic mass of gallium is 69.72 . The density of iron is 7.87 . The atomic mass of iron is 55.847 . Calculate the number of
laiz [17]

Answer:

the atomic mass of any elemet contains avogardo numberof atoms

In case of Gallium,

69.72 gram is atomic mass and it cotnains around 6.023*10^23 atoms of Gallium

but, 2000 punds = 907184.7 grams

907184.7 gram of gallium contains= 6.023*10^23* 907184/69.72

                                                          = 79 *10^26 atoms

Sometimes reactions to prices in oligopolistic markets can result in _________
STatiana [176]

Answer:

a price war

Explanation:

An Oligopoly is when a small group of two or more companies dominates a market. Oligopoly firms may consent to market collusion, and create barriers to new commerce entry. If the businesses do not, they will probably be forced to lower their prices and open the market to new and smaller companies.

It is the type of competition between the company selling the similar type of product , or rival companies who tries to reduce the price of the product strategizing in a way to apprehend the wider area of the market , is known as a price war .

In the event one of the firms forming the oligopoly decides to lower prices, a price war occurs breaking the balance of the oligopoly and destabilizing the equilibrium of demand and supply in that market.

Reduction of the price of any goods or commodity is considered to be one of the best method to increase its market share ,because as soon as the price of any good decreases , the sales automatically increases , as the consumers are always in search of some discounts and good deals .
