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
The answer for the following problem is described below.
<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>
Explanation:
Given:
enthalpy of combustion of glucose(Δ
of
) =-1275.0
enthalpy of combustion of oxygen(Δ
of
) = zero
enthalpy of combustion of carbon dioxide(Δ
of
) = -393.5
enthalpy of combustion of water(Δ
of
) = -285.8
To solve :
standard enthalpy of combustion
We know;
Δ
= ∈Δ
(products) - ∈Δ
(reactants)
(s) +6
(g) → 6
(g)+ 6
(l)
Δ
= [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [6 (0) + (-1275)]
Δ
= [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [0 - 1275]
Δ
= 6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8) - 0 + 1275
Δ
= -2361 - 1714 - 0 + 1275
Δ
=-2800 kJ
<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>
Answer: Compound
Explanation:
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper 
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water 

Thus as it give that the red sample on being heated, a gas is released and a blue powder is left after the heating. Thus the given sample is a compound.
