Adding an acid to water will decrease the pH as acids have a pH less than 7 and the pH of water is 7. Adding a base will increase the pH because the pH of bases is above 7.
Answer: 65.7 gram
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of 
are produced by = 2 moles of 
Thus 0.219 moles of will be produced by =
of
Mass of 
Thus 65.7 g of NaI, must be used to produce 55.6 g of iodine
When water is boiling the particles in the liquid are not expanding. This also applies for other liquids. Particles do not expand, it is only the volume they take up that expands. When water is boiling, the particles are rather escaping the liquid phase by undergoing a phase change which forms the particles into the gaseous phase.
Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96
Answer:
Energy is released in this reaction possibly in the form of heat thus it is an exergonic and or exothermic reaction.
