If kb for nx3 is 4.0×10−6, what is the poh of a 0.175 m aqueous solution of nx3?
Elena-2011 [213]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

pOH = 3.08

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

NX3 + H2O <----> NHX3+ + OH-  

Kb = 4.0 x 10^-6

Kb = c(NH₄⁺) · c(OH⁻) ÷ c(NH₃).

c(NH₄⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

x² = Kb · c(NH₃)

x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ × 0.175 = 7.0 × 10⁻⁷.

x = c(OH⁻) = √(7.0 × 10⁻⁷)

    = 8.367 × 10⁻⁴

pOH = -log(c(OH⁻))

        =- log ( 8.367 × 10⁻⁴)

        <u>= 3.08</u>

If a sample of gas is at 672 °C and 3.9 atm, what is the new temperature at 12.2 atm?
Snowcat [4.5K]
In order to calculate the final temperature of the gas, we may apply Charles's law, which states that the pressure and temperature of a fixed amount of gas at constant volume are directly proportional. Mathematically:
P/T = constant
(absolute temperature is used, so T = 672 + 273 = 945 K)
Thus,
3.9 / 945 = 12.2 / T
T = 2,956 K or 2,683 °C

Describe two physical and two chemical changes involved in cooking. (4 points)
Ivenika [448]
Physical changes are when things get changed without altering chemical consistencies, which is melting solid butter into liquid one, or boiling water. Chemical changes are things such as caramelizing sugar when making sweets, or when carbon dioxide is created and released when baking bread.
