Answer:
no matter is destroyed or created, it merely changes form. In terms of atoms and bonds, there will be the same amount of atoms at the beginning of an experiment as the amount of atoms at the end of experiment. All that will have happened, is that during the reaction, bonds will have been broken and formed making new compounds. However, the amount of atoms remains exactly the same because matter can not be created or destroyed
Hope this helps!
Possibly the amount of electrons and energy levels in which the electrons reside
The reaction between the reactants would be:
CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻
Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.
CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I 0.11 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.11 - x x x
Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.
Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴
So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]
Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>
