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

What is the bond dissociation energy for breaking all the bonds in a mole of o2 molecules?
djverab [1.8K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

498 kj/mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Chemical reactions occur as a result of bond breaking and bond formation.
  • The bonds in reactants are broken and atoms are rearranged to form new bonds.
  • During bond breaking energy is absorbed to break the bonds of reactants while bond formation involves the release of energy during the formation of new bonds.

In our case;

In 1 mole of the Oxygen molecule, there is one O=O bond

Energy absorbed to break O=O is 498 kJ/mol

Therefore, the ΔH required to break all the bonds in one mole of Oxygen(O₂) molecules is 498kJ/mol.

Note that, bond breaking is endothermic since energy is absorbed  from the surroundings.

Consider the solutions, 0.04 m urea [(NH_2)_2C=O)], 0.04 m AgNO_3 and 0.04 m CaCl_2. Which has
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the colligatives properties are modified by the Van't Hoff factor. This is shown as i, in the formula of the colligative properties freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure.

The Van't Hoff factor shows the number of particles into which the solute dissociates. In organic compounds we use 1, in inorganic compounds we have to think the dissociation. For example in aquous solutions, inorganic salts as AgNO₃ and CaCl₂ dissociate like this:

AgNO₃ →  Ag⁺  + NO₃⁻

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺  +  2Cl⁻

AgNO₃ has 2 moles of ions and CaCl₂ has 3 moles.

In urea: i = 1

In  silver nitrate: i = 2

In calcium chloride: i = 3

The i = 3 for  calcium chloride, makes that this salt has the highest osmotic pressure, highest vapor pressure and highest boiling point.

Which substance can not be decomposed by a chemical change?
just olya [345]
The answer is A. Ne. You can separate the elements in the other three choices through chemical changes (dissociation, ionization, electrolysis, etc.), but in order to separate the components of Ne, you would need a nuclear reaction (to decompose the nucleus) or a physical change (to strip the nucleus of its electron cloud).
