Well, that was just me........................
Answer:
pKb = 10.96
Explanation:
Tartaric acid is a dyprotic acid. It reacts to water like this:
H₂Tart + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + HTart⁻ Ka1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Tart⁻² Ka2
When we anaylse the base, we have
Tart⁻² + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HTart⁻ Kb1
HTart⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H₂Tart Kb2
Remember that Ka1 . Kb2 = Kw, plus pKa1 + pKb2 = 14
Kb2 = Kw / Ka1 → 1×10⁻¹⁴ / 9.20×10⁻⁴ = 1.08×10⁻¹¹
so pKb = - log Kb2 → - log 1.08×10⁻¹¹ = 10.96
Answer:
9 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹
Explanation:
Data:
k = 1 × 10⁻³ L·mol⁻¹s⁻¹
[A] = 3 mol·L⁻¹
Calculation:
rate = k[A]² = 1 × 10⁻³ L·mol⁻¹s⁻¹ × (3 mol·L⁻¹)² = 9 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹
Answer:
pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.
The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.
If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)
Answer:
c) more OH⁻ ions than H₃O⁺ ions
Explanation:
A substance with a PH of 9 implies that it has more OH⁻ ions than H₃O⁺ ions.
Such substances are said to be an alkaline or a base.
A base is a substance the produces excess hydroxyl ion in aqueous solutions.
An acid will produce excess hydroxonium ions in a solution.
So, the pH scale is used to indicate whether a substance is an acid or base or non of them.
Acids have pH of less than 7
Bases have pH of > 7
