<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 is the orbital diagram for silicon
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: Silicon the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Silicon go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons.

Hope this helps! :)

Why is a saturated NaCl solution an example of an equilibrium system? A. Because of the reversible nature of solidifying and mel
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Option B, Because of the reversible nature of crystallizing and dissolving

Explanation:

Solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given solvent at the particular temperature is called saturated solution.

Reversible reaction is the reaction which can go in reverse and forward direction both on varying reaction condition.

In the saturated NaCl solution, on lowering temperature, The the dissolved NaCl molecules may crystallize. Likewise on increasing temperature, the crystallized crystals may dissolved. As the reaction moves in both the direction, therefore its considered to be equilibrium system.

Therefore, amog given, option B is correct.

Because of the reversible nature of crystallizing and dissolving
