We are given a pH of 10.38
*pH + pOH = 14

10.38 + pOH = 14
----> pOH = 3.62

pOH = -log [OH]
----> [OH] = 2.3988x10^-4

Set up an I.C.E table using the concentration of OH found (y) and x being the unknown:
[base] + H2O ------> [conjugate acid] + OH
I x 0 0
C -y +y +y
E x-y y y

Given Kb, we can set up the equilibrium equation:
K = $\frac{prdoucts}{reactants}$
K = $\frac{y ^{2} }{x-y}$

We can substitute y for the concentration of OH we found, and K for the Kb value:
$8.50* 10^{-7} = \frac{(2.3988* 10^{-4})^{2} }{x-2.3988*10^{-4} }$

Solve the equation algebraically to get x.
X = 6.8*10^-2

Hope that helps.

Concentration of weak base : 0.0679

Further explanation

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.

pH = - log [H⁺]

So that the two quantities between pH and [H⁺] are inversely proportional because they are associated with negative values.

A solution whose value is different by n has a difference in the concentration of H ions of 10ⁿ.

According to Arrhenius, Base is a compound which in water releases OH-ions

Electrolytes (acids or bases) with a small degree of ionization are classified as weak electrolytes

OH concentration and molarity can be related to the formula

$\rm [OH^-] = \sqrt{Kb.M}$

Kb = base ionization constant

M = molarity

A certain weak base has a Kb of 8.50 × 10⁻⁷

pH = 10.38

pOH = 14 - 10.38

pOH = 3.62

$\rm [OH^-]=10^{-3.62}$

Then :

$\rm [10^{-3.62}^2] = \sqrt{8.5.10^{-7}.M}$

$\rm M=\dfrac{10^{-7.24}}{8.5.10^{-7}}\\\\M=1.18.10^{-1.24}\\\\M=\boxed{\bold{0.0679}}$

Firstly, the water in the dams hold gravitational potential energy as they are above ground level. the gravitational potential energy is then transferred to kinetic energy as it falls, spinning the turbinethe turbine then spins the generator, which is a large magnet surrounded by metal coils. by doing this, the generator generates electricity. in this action, the energy transfer taken place is kinetic to electric energy

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
