<span>Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN</span>⁻(aq) + Na⁺<span>(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN</span>⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻<span>(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN</span>⁻<span>) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) =  4.9·10</span>⁻¹⁰<span>.
Kb(CN</span>⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵<span>.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH</span>⁻] / [CN⁻<span>].
[HCN] · [OH</span>⁻<span>] = x.
[CN</span>⁻<span>] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10</span>⁻⁵<span> = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH</span>⁻<span>] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.</span>

What mass of sodium chloride is needed to prepare 200 ml of a 0.1 M solution
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

C. 1.17 grams

Explanation:

  • The molarity is the no. of moles of solute in a 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (mass/molar mass)solute x (1000/ V)</em>

M = 0.1 M, mass = ??? g, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol, V = 200.0 mL.

∴ mass of NaCl = (M)(molar mass)(V)/1000 = (0.1 M)(58.44 g/mol)(200.0 mL)/1000 = 1.168 g ≅ 1.17 g.

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Distance cover by school bus = 149.5 miles

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of school bus = 65 mph

Time taken by school bus = 2.3 hours

Find:

Distance cover by school bus

Computation:

Distance cover = Velocity x Time taken

Distance cover by school bus = Velocity of school bus x Time taken by school bus

Distance cover by school bus = 65 x 2.3

Distance cover by school bus = 149.5 miles
