Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63
Explanation : Given,
The dissociation constant for HCN = 
First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.
and,
The balanced chemical reaction is:
Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978
At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)
0.0655 0.1359
Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
![pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BSalt%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63
a. pH=2.07
b. pH=3
c. pH=8

a) 0.1 M HF Ka = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴
HF= weak acid
![\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}\\\\(H^+]=\sqrt{7.2.10^{-4}\times 0.1}\\\\(H^+]=8.5\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~8.5=2.07](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7BKa.M%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%28H%5E%2B%5D%3D%5Csqrt%7B7.2.10%5E%7B-4%7D%5Ctimes%200.1%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%28H%5E%2B%5D%3D8.5%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5CpH%3D3-log~8.5%3D2.07)
b) 1 x 10⁻³ M HNO₃
HNO₃ = strong acid

c) 1 x 10⁻⁸ M HCl
![\tt pH=-log[1\times 10^{-8}]=8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20pH%3D-log%5B1%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-8%7D%5D%3D8)
Answer:
Coefficients represents no of moles while subscripts represent no of atoms.
Answer:The correct answer is option (C).
Explanation:
After the reaction between Zinc and copper(II) chloride, Zinc chloride and copper will be obtained as a product. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than copper which displaces the copper from its aqueous solution.
The student will expect to find copper metal at bottom of the beaker with aqueous solution of zinc chloride.
Hence the correct answer is option (C).
