The pH of a solution is 9.02.

c(HCN) = 1.25 M; concentration of the cyanide acid

n(NaCN) = 1.37 mol; amount of the salt

V = 1.699 l; volume of the solution

c(NaCN) = 1.37 mol ÷ 1.699 l

c(NaCN) = 0.806 M; concentration of the salt

Ka = 6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰; acid constant

pKa = -logKa

pKa = - log (6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰)

pKa = 9.21

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for the buffer solution:

pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 9.21 + log (0.806M/1.25M)

pH = 9.21 - 0.19

pH = 9.02; potential of hydrogen

How many moles of water would be produced from 3 moles of oxygen in the following reaction? Don’t forget to include units in you

wariber [46]

Answer:

6moles of water

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of oxygen = 3moles

Reaction equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Unknown:

Number of moles of water formed = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

compare the number of moles in the reaction.

1 mole of oxygen gas will produce 2 mole of water

3 moles of oxygen gas will produce 3 x 2 = 6moles of water.

How do double replacement reactions relate to Combustion reactions

andriy [413]

Explanation:

A single-replacement reaction replaces one element for another in a compound.

A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations (or the anions) of two ionic compounds.

A precipitation reaction is a double-replacement reaction in which one product is a solid precipitate.

Solubility rules are used to predict whether some double-replacement reactions will occur.

If a solution conducts electricity and has a pH value of 7 then it could be

stealth61 [152]

The solution that conducts electricity and has a pH value of 7 would most likely be a neutral solution. Water is among the best examples of a neutral solution. When the pH of a solution is considered to be lesser than 7, it is an acid, while if the pH is greater than 7, it is considered to be a basic solution.

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?

blagie [28]

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).

Groundwater in an area flows at a speed of 4km/h. How long would it take the water to flow 10 km t it’s springs

joja [24]

You want to divide 10 by 4 to get the number of hours it will take for the water to get to the springs, which is 2.5, so it would take the water 2.5 hours to revel to it’s spring
