M1v1=m2v2
m2=(m1v1)/v2
Where m is the molarities and v is the volumes
<span>m2=(25.0*0.500)/53.5
m2=12.5/53.5
m2=0.2336
by rounding off:
m2=0.234 M
so the answer is C: 0.234 M</span>
Benzoic acid release protons in water:
C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Benzoic acid conjugate base gain protons in water:
C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COOH(aq).
Ka(C₆H₅COOH) = 6.3·10⁻⁵.
Ka · Kb = 1·10⁻¹⁴.
Kb(C₆H₅COO⁻) = 1·10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 6.3·10⁻⁵.
Kb(C₆H₅COO⁻) = 1.587·10⁻¹⁰.
