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

Which equation shows conservation of atoms?
makvit [3.9K]
Answer C because it is a balanced equation that shows an equal amount of hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation as well as an equal amount of oxygen on both sides. No atoms are lost or destroyed in this equation

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The property by which water molecules attract each other is cohesion. groups of water molecules are formed by this interaction by adhesion with other water molecules.

Hydrogen bridges are great forces that hold water molecules together. They form a compact structure that gives it the property of being an almost incompressible liquid. These weak interactions are formed between a hydrogen with a positive partial charge and a more electronegative atom, such as oxygen.

Have a nice day!

What mass of HCL, in grams, is required to react with 0.610 g of al(oh)3 ?
kompoz [17]

Answer: 0.8541 grams of HCl will be required.

Explanation: Moles can be calculated by using the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of Al(OH)_3 = 0.610 g

Molar mass of Al(OH)_3 = 78 g/mol

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{0.610g}{78g/mol}

Number of moles of Al(OH)_3 = 0.0078 moles

The reaction between Al(OH)_3 and HCl is a type of neutralization reaction because here acid and base are reacting to form an salt and also releases water.

Chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of  Al(OH)_3 reacts with 3 moles of HCl

So, 0.0078 moles of Al(OH)_3 will react with \frac{3}{1}\times 0.0078 = 0.0234 moles

Mass of HCl is calculated by using the mole formula, we get

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in the equation, we get

0.0234moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{36.5g/mol}

Mass of HCl required will be = 0.8541 grams

mafiozo [28]
For this problem, the solution is exhibiting some colligative properties since the solute in the solution interferes with some of the properties of the solvent. We use equation for the boiling point elevation for this problem. We do as follows:
<span>
ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
</span>ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.512)(1.3/2.0)(2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 0.67 degrees Celsius
<span>
T(boiling point) = 100 + 0.67 = 100.67 degrees Celsius</span>
