Answer:

The pH is 4.76

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a 0.476 M hydrocyanic acid solution = 29.8 mL = 0.0298 L

Volume of 0.487 M barium hydroxide solution = ?

Ka HCN = 6.2 * 10^-10

Step 2: Calculate pH

Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid.

Barium hydroxide is a strong base.

 

The question asked = the pH BEFORE any base has been added, so we can ignore the base.  

 

To calculate the pH of aweak acid, we need the pKa

HCN ⇔ H+ + CN-

Ka =  [H+][CN-]/[HCN]

⇒ for weak acid: [H+]=[CN-]

Ka = [H+]²/[HCN]

[H+]² = [HCN]*Ka

[H+] = √([HCN]*Ka)

pH = -log(√([HCN]*Ka))

pH = -log(√(0.476 * 6.2*10^-10))

pH = 4.76

The pH is 4.76

Which of the followings is true about G0'? A. G0' can be determined using Keq' B. G0' indicates if a reaction can occur under no
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.

Explanation:

A) True.  Since the standard gibbs free energy is

ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

C) False. From the equation presented

ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1

for example, for a reversible reaction  ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)

D) True. Standard conditions refer to

T= 298 K

pH= 7

P= 1 atm

C= 1 M for all reactants

Water = 55.6 M
