I'm going to assume that you mean't mole instead of mile. One mole of O2 has approximately the same mass of one "mole" of N2. I say this because if these elements were rounded by their atomic mass, N would stay as 14, O would round up to 16, and we wouldn't; in this case, O2 would have approximately the same mass as F because F rounds up to 19 and the different between O and N is only 2 while the difference between O and F is 3.
If the Ka of HCN = 5.0 x 10^-10
Since
(Ka) (Ka) - 1 x 10^ -14
then
the Kb of its conjugate base (CN-) = 2.0 X 10^-5
since
pH + pOH = 14
when the pH = 10.00
then
the pOH = 4.00
& the OH-
would then equal 1.0 X 10^-4
NaCN as a base does a hydrolysis in water:
CN- & water --> HCN & OH-
notice that equal amounts of OH- & HCN are formed
Kb = [HCN] [OH-] / [CN-]
2.0 X 10^-5 = [1.0 X 10^-4] [1.0 X 10^-4] / [CN-]
[CN-] =(1.0 X 10^-8) / (2.0 X 10^-5)
[CN-] = (5.0 X 10^-4)
that's 0.00050 Molar
which is 0.00050 moles in each liter of aqueous KCN solution
which is
0.00025 moles KCN in 500. mL of aqueous KCN solution
use molar mass of KCN, to find grams:
(0.00025 moles KCN) (65.12 grams KCN / mole) = 0.01628 grams of KCn
which is 16.3 mg of KCN
& rounded to the 2 sig figs which are showing in the Ka of HCN , "5.0" X 10^-10
your answer would be
16 mg of KCN
sorry even after making a correction in calcs , I don't get one of your answers.
the only way that I could get one of them is to pretend that yours was a 1 sig fig problem,
in which case your 16 mg would round off to 20 mg.
but you have 3 sig figs in "500. ml", & 2 sig figs in both the "pH of 10.00."
& The Ka of HCN = "5.0 x 10^-10."
it does however take 12 mg of NaCN, to make 500. mL of aqueous solution pH of 10.00. the molar mass of NaCN has the smaller molar mass of 49.00 grams per mole.
maybe they meant NaCN, but wrote KCN instead.
I hope i answered this correctly for you.
The three beams on a triple beam balance all are different. Each beam should have a differnet unit of measurement. For example, one beam may count in 100's and the other beam may count in 10's and the last beam may count in 1's.
Answer:
One characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance is the <em>homogeneity of the molecular structure</em><em>.</em>
Explanation:
If the structure is the same all throughout such as liquid water, it is said to be homogenous.
