Answer:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a substance that donates H⁺.
  • A base is a substance that accepts H⁺.

When methylamine reacts with water, it behaves as a Brönsted-Lowry base, according to the following reaction.

CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The basic equilibrium constant (Kb) is:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

How many moles of sodium carbonate contain 1.773 × 1017 carbon atoms?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

  • 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Explanation:

1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>

2) Ratio of carbon atoms:

  • The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).

Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.

This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.

3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms

  • Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol

  • number C moles  = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)

  • number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.

Which resources are significantly polluted by heavy metals like mercury?
arlik [135]
<span>Heavy metals like mercury enter waterways by industrial dumping and poor regulatioin of effluent, and they also enter soil through a similar manner, in which waste is disposed of imporperly. Another source of heavy metals are the gases leaving industry carrying these metals. The metals fall as a solid on to soil and water ways. Therefore, the answer is D.</span>
