<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>

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Well you can not serve it because it is a slow cooker it cooks slow and the refrigerator uses power.Stove tops use power too, I wouldn't feed it to the dog because it whatever you made could possibly make the dog sick and throwing it away is a waste of money. Out of all of those explanations choose the best one. Which ever one you pick whether right or wrong, think about it.

What is the molarity of a solution made from dissolving 10.0 moles of NaOH into 5.0
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Molarity (M) of any solution is equal to the number of moles (n)of solute in it divided by total volume of solution (V)

Mathematically, it can be represented as

M = \frac{n}{V}

Substituting the given values, we get-

M = \frac{10}{5} = 2

Hence, option D is correct
