Answer:

Kb = 1.77x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

When NH₃, a weak base, is in equilibrium with waterm the reaction that occurs is:

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

And the dissociation constant, Kb, for this equilibrium is:

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

To find Kb you need to find the concentration of each species. The equilibrium concentrations are:

[NH₃] = 0.950M - X

[NH₄⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

<em>Where X is reaction coordinate.</em>

You can know [OH⁻] and, therefore, X, with pH of the solution, thus:

pH = -log [H⁺] = 11.612

[H⁺] = 2.4434x10⁻¹²

As 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.4434x10⁻¹² = [OH⁻]

4.0926x10⁻³ = [OH⁻] = X

Replacing, concentrations of the species are:

[NH₃] = 0.950M - X

[NH₄⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

[NH₃] = 0.9459M

[NH₄⁺] = 4.0926x10⁻³M

[OH⁻] = 4.0926x10⁻³M

Replacing in Kb expression:

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Kb = [4.0926x10⁻³M] [4.0926x10⁻³M] / [0.9459M]

<h3>Kb = 1.77x10⁻⁵</h3>

Tamiku [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed with water. The student claimed that the data did not provide enough evidence to determine whether a chemical or physical change took place and that additional tests were needed. Which of the following identifies the best way to gather evidence to support the type of change that occurred when water and Xwere mixed?

A. Measuring the melting point of the mixture of water and X

B. Adding another substance to the mixture of water and X to see whether a solid forms

C Measuring and comparing the masses of the water,  X, and the mixture of water and X

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Answer:

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Explanation:

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the table here. However, from the table,  the temperature of the of the mixture of the solid X and water was 101.6°C. This is above the boiling point of water and way below the temperature of the solid X.

This goes a long way to suggest that there was some kind of interaction between the water and X which accounted for the observed temperature of the system of X in water.

The only way we can be able to confirm if X actually dissolved in water is to measure the conductivity of the water. dissolved solids increase the conductivity of water.

How much water(in grams) at its boiling point can be vaporized by adding 1.50 kJ of heat? The molar heat of vaporization for wat
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

0.66g of water

Explanation:

Molar heat of vaporization of any substance is defined as the heat necessary to vaporize 1 mole of the substance.

If heat of vaporization of water is 40.79kJ/mol and you add 1.50kJ, the moles you vaporize are:

1.50kJ × (1mol / 40.79kJ) = 0.0368 moles of water.

As molar mass of water is 18.01g/mol, mass of water that can be vaporized are:

0.0368 moles × (18.01g / mol) = <em>0.66g of water</em>

mafiozo [28]

Question:

Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen gas and is collected over a liquid whose vapor pressure is the same as pure water at 20.0 degrees C (18 torr). The volume of the mixture is 1.7 L and its total pressure is 0.987 atm. Determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample.

A. 0.272 mol

B. 0.04 mol

C. 0.997 mol

D. 0.139 mol

E. 0.0681 mol

Answer:

The correct option is;

E. 0.0681 mol

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is

Zn + HCl = H₂ + ZnCl₂

Vapor pressure of the liquid = 18 torr = 2399.803 Pa

Total pressure of gas mixture H₂ + liquid vapor = 0.987 atm  

= 100007.775 Pa

Therefore, by Avogadro's law, pressure of the hydrogen gas is given by the following equation

Pressure of H₂ = 100007.775 Pa - 2399.803 Pa = 97607.972 Pa

Volume of H₂ = 1.7 L = 0.0017 m³

Temperature = 20 °C = 293.15 K

Therefore,

n = \frac{PV}{RT} =  \frac{100007.775 \times 0.0017 }{8.3145 \times 293.15} = 0.068078 \ moles

Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample is n ≈ 0.0681 moles.
