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}

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

In a constant‑pressure calorimeter, 60.0 mL of 0.300 M Ba ( OH ) 2 was added to 60.0 mL of 0.600 M HCl . The reaction caused the
densk [106]

Answer:

Q sln = 75.165 J

Explanation:

a constant pressure calorimeter:

  • Q sln = mCΔT

∴ m sln = m Ba(OH)2 + m HCl

∴ molar mass Ba(OH)2 = 171.34 g/mol

∴ mol Ba(OH)2 = (0.06 L)(0.3 mol/L) = 0.018 mol

⇒ mass Ba(OH)2 = (0.018 mol)(171.34 g/mol) = 3.084 g

∴ molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

∴ mol HCl = (0.06 L)(0.60 mol/L) = 0.036 mol

⇒ mass HCl = (0.036 mol)(36.46 g/mol) = 1.313 g

⇒ m sln = 3.084 g + 1.313 g = 4.3966 g

specific heat (C):

∴ C sln = C H2O = 4.18 J/g°C

∴ ΔT = 26.83°C - 22.74°C = 4.09°C

heat absorbed (Q):

⇒ Q sln = (4.3966 g)(4.18 J/g°C)(4.09°C)

⇒ Q sln = 75.165 J

A certain electromagnetic wave a wavelength of 415 nm. What is the frequency of the wave in hz?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 7.22891566 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, λ = 415 nm

The speed of an electromagnetic wave, c ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Given that an electromagnetic wave is a periodic wave, we have;

The speed of the electromagnetic wave, c = f×λ

Where;

f = The frequency of the electromagnetic wave

Therefore, we have;

f = c/λ

From which we have;

f = (3.0 × 10⁸ m/s)/(415 nm) = 7.22891566 × 10¹⁴ /s = 7.22891566 × 10¹⁴ Hz

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave, f = 7.22891566 × 10¹⁴ Hz
