Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63

Explanation : Given,

The dissociation constant for HCN = pK_a=9.31

First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

\text{Moles of HCN}=\text{Concentration of HCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.496M\times 0.225L=0.1116mole

and,

\text{Moles of NaCN}=\text{Concentration of NaCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.399M\times 0.225L=0.08978mole

The balanced chemical reaction is:

                          HCN+NaOH\rightarrow NaCN+H_2O

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]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=9.31+\log (\frac{0.1359}{0.0655})

pH=9.63

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63

Rank the following elements in order of decreasing atomic radius (1 is biggest, 5 is smallest)
AlexFokin [52]

There are various kind of elements that are present in periodic table. Some elements are harmful, some are radioactive, some are noble gases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a table in which we find elements with properties like metals, non metals, metalloids and radioactive element arranges in increasing atomic number.

Along the period, the size of elements decreases. Down the group the size of elements increases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

Therefore, atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

How many moles of magnesium, Mg, are there in 4.75 grams of magnesium?
Nina [5.8K]
Molar mass Mg = 24.3 g/mol

1 mole mg ------------ 24.3 g
?? moles mg --------- 4.75 g

4.75 x 1 / 24.3 => 0.195 moles of Mg

hope this helps!

How many grams of o2 are required to produce 358.5 grams of zno? 2zn + o2 ® 2zno?
Murrr4er [49]
The balanced equation for the reaction is ;
2Zn + O2 —> 2ZnO
The stoichiometry of O2 to ZnO is 1:2
The mass of ZnO formed - 358.5 g
The number of moles formed - 358.5 g / 81.4 g/mol = 4.4 moles
Therefore number of O2 moles reacted = 4.4 moles /2 = 2.2 mol
Mass of O2 reacted = 2.2 mol x 32 g/mol = 70.4 g
