Hydrocyanic acid has a Ka of 4.0

Chemistry

Answer:

0.002 %

Explanation:

Given that:

K_{a}=4.0\times 10^{-10}

Concentration = 1.0 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of Hydrocyanic acid as:

                                      HCN    ⇄     H⁺ +        CN⁻

At t=0                            1.0                -              -

At t =equilibrium        (1.0-x)                x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant of Hydrocyanic acid is:

K_{a}=\frac {\left [ H^{+} \right ]\left [ {CN}^- \right ]}{[HCN]}

4.0\times 10^{-10}=\frac {x^2}{1.0-x}

x is very small, so (1.0 - x) ≅ 1.0

Solving for x, we get:

x = 2×10⁻⁵  M

Percentage ionization = \frac {2\times 10^{-5}}{1.0}\times 100=0.002 \%

Which set of elements has 4 valence electrons?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

carbon group

All the carbon group atoms, having four valence electrons, form covalent bonds with nonmetal atoms; carbon and silicon cannot lose or gain electrons to form free ions, whereas germanium, tin, and lead do form metallic ions but only with two positive charges.

Identify the four parts of the potential energy diagram
Leni [432]

Answer:

Reactants, Activation energy, Energy released by the reaction and Products

Explanation:

This energy profile is that of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, heat is liberated to the surrounding. The surrounding becomes hotter than the environment.

The first box to the left is the reactants which signifies the species combining together.

The topmost box is the activation energy which is the energy barrier that must be over come before a reaction takes place.

The box underneath is the energy change. Here, energy is being released.

The right most box is the product of the reaction.
