What is the pH of 40.0 mL of a solution that is 0.15 M in CN� and 0.29 M in HCN? For HCN, use Ka = 4.9 * 10^-9

1 answer:

4 0

This is a buffer solution because it consists of a weak acid (HCN) and its conjugate base (CN-)
Since it's a buffer solution, the pH is equal to the pKa of the solution, you would use the henderson-hasslebach equation:
pH = pKa - log([acid]/[base])
pH = -log(4.9*10-9) - log(.29/.15)
pH = about 8

What force is causing The object to eventually stop moving

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

The force stopping the object's motion might be an obvious one - the ground! Friction is a force that slows or stops motion. Friction is the resistance to motion created by two objects rubbing against each other (the sled and the snow, for instance). Even air causes friction.

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium, assuming the average mass of an atom is ten times the mass of a hydrog

mezya [45]

Answer: -

The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹

Explanation: -

We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.

We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.

Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom

= 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.
