Answer : The pH of a 0.05 M solution of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is, 5.305

Solution :

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be,

HCN\rightleftharpoons H^++CN^-

The expression for dissociation constant will be,

k_a=\frac{[H^+][CN^-]}{[HCN]}

Let the concentration of [H^+] and CN^- will be, 'x'

4.9\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{0.05}

x=4.95\times 10^{-6}M

That means the concentration of [H^+] and CN^- are 4.95\times 10^{-6}M

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (4.95\times 10^{-6})

pH=5.305

Therefore, the pH of a 0.05 M solution of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is, 5.305

A chamber with a fixed volume is shown above. The temperature of the gas inside the chamber before heating is 25.2 C and it’s pr
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial temperature T₁  = 25.2°C  = 25.2 + 273  = 298.2K

Initial pressure  = P₁  = 0.6atm

Final temperature = 72.4°C   = 72.4 + 273  = 345.4K

Unknown:

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use an adaption of the combined gas law where the volume gas is fixed. This simplification results into:

                  \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }   = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

where P and T are temperatures, 1 and 2 are initial and final temperatures.

 Input the parameters and solve;

          \frac{0.6}{298.2}   = \frac{P_{2} }{345.4}  

          P₂   = 0.7atm
