If Ka for HCN is 6. 2×10^−10 at 25 °C, then the value of Kb for cn− at 25 °C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3><h3 />

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 6.2× 10^(-10)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{6.2×10^(-10) }

= 1.6× 10^(-5)

Thus, the value of base dissociation constant at 25°C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

Complete the following single replacement reaction. If they don’t react, just write “NR”

Kipish [7]

Here we have to complete the given single replacement reactions.

The replacement reactions are-

1) Fe (s) + CuCl₂ (aq) → FeCl₂ (aq) + Cu (s)

2) Cu (s) + FeCl₂ (aq) → NA

3) K (s) + NiBr₂ (aq) → NA

4) Ni (s) + KBr (aq) → NiBr₂ (aq) + K (s)

5) Zn (s) + Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ca (s)

6) Ca (s) + Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) → NA

The replacement reactions can be explained in light of the redox potential.

The standard reduction potential of the half cells involved in these reactions are:

Fe²⁺ + 2e → Fe (E° = -0.441V); Cu²⁺ + 2e → Cu (E° = 0.674V)

Ni²⁺ + 2e → Ni (E° = -0.23V); Zn²⁺ + 2e → Zn (E° = -0.763V)

We know the half cell reactions in which the standard reduction potentials are positive are allowed.

1) The reaction is possible as Cu²⁺/Cu and Fe/Fe²⁺ standard reduction potentials are positive.

2) The reaction is not possible as Cu/Cu²⁺ and Fe²⁺/Fe standard reduction potentials are negative.

3) The reaction is not possible as Ni²⁺/Ni standard reduction potential is negative.

4) The reaction is possible as Ni/Ni²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

5) The reaction is possible as Zn/Zn²⁺ standard reduction potential is positive.

6) The reaction is possible as Zn²⁺/Zn standard reduction potential is negative.

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, c6h10os2. the mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded t

Gemiola [76]

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, that is having molecular formula C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Molar mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂=162.26 g mol⁻¹.

number of moles of C₆H₁₀OS₂=1 mol

So mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂ can be calculated as:

$Number of moles of C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}, n= \frac{Given mass of the }{Molar mass of theC_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}$

$1= \frac{Given mass of the C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}{162.26}$

Given mass of the C₆H₁₀OS₂= 162 g

Comment on whether each of the following is a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture: (a) air in a closed bottle, (b) ai

Colt1911 [192]

Explanation:

A mixture in which there is uniform distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

On the other hand, a mixture in which there is uneven distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Comment on given situations will be as follows.

(a) Air in a closed bottle - It is a homogeneous mixture because there will be even distribution of other gases that are present in air.

(b) Air over New York City - It is a heterogeneous mixture because there will be presence of some dust particles, fog or smoke into the air. Distribution of all these particles will be uneven. This will make air over New York City heterogeneous in nature.
