According to the reaction equation:

and by using ICE table:

              CN-  + H2O ↔ HCN  + OH- 

initial  0.08                        0          0

change -X                        +X          +X

Equ    (0.08-X)                    X            X

so from the equilibrium equation, we can get Ka expression

when Ka = [HCN] [OH-]/[CN-]

when Ka = Kw/Kb

               = (1 x 10^-14) / (4.9 x 10^-10)

               = 2 x 10^-5

So, by substitution:

2 x 10^-5 = X^2 / (0.08 - X)

X= 0.0013

∴ [OH] = X = 0.0013 

∴ POH = -㏒[OH]

            = -㏒0.0013

            = 2.886 

∴ PH = 14 - POH

         = 14 - 2.886 = 11.11

How many grams of fluorine are needed to react with 8.5g of phosphorus?
love history [14]

Step 1: write the equation:

                                          P₄(s) + 6F₂(g) → 4PF₃(g) 


Step 2: Molar mass of P₄ = 30.97 g/mol × 4 = 123.88 g/mol


Step 3: Number of moles of phosphorus

                                                    n = m/M 

                                                    n = 8.5 g/123.88g/mol

                                                    n = 0.07 moles


Step 4: 0.07 × 12 = 0.84 moles of fluorine.

Fluorine is diatomic gas so we multiplied the number of moles by 12.


Step 5: To find the mass of fluorine we multiply the number of moles with the molar mass.

                            Mass of fluorine = 0.84 ×  228 

                                                        = 191.52 grams.
