If the Kb of a weak base is 4.6 × 10-6, what is the pH of a 0.32 M solution of this base?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Assuming that the given base is a weak monoprotic base, the pH of the solution can be calculated as follows:

Write the balanced reaction and ice chart:

          BOH -->  OH- + B+

i           0.32        0         0
c            -x           x          x
e       0.32-x        x          x

Kb = x^2/ (0.32-x)
x = 1.21x10^-3 = [OH-]
pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[1.21x10^-3] = 2.917
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.917 = 11.08

Which of the following is not an example of an extensive physical property?A.) Mass
B.) Shape
C.) Color
D.) Volume

Answers

The correct answer is C. Color is not an extensive property because it does not depends on the amount. An extensive property is a property that is dependent on the amount of substance being measured. The opposite is called intensive property where it does not depend on the amount.

Which molecule, when added to a solution, would give the solution the highest pH?HCl
H2SO4
KOH
H2O

Answers

The molecule, when added to a solution, would give the solution the highest pH is KOH. This is because when KOH is in the solution, it will give a very strong basic properties due to the -OH and the K which is highly electropositive.

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Because, KOH is the highest PH in the molecule(s).

Cellulose and chitin are linked by what type of bond? A) Glycosidic bond B) Peptide bond C) Disulfide bond D) Hydrogen bond

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is: A) Glycosidic bond

Explanation: Cellulose and chitin are both complex carbohydrates made of repeating units of glucose. These repeating units are linked together by glycosidic bonds, specifically beta-glycosidic bonds, which are a type of covalent bond connecting the sugar molecules in a linear fashion.
