Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]

1 answer:

4 0

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

Which of these phase changes does NOT involve changing a liquid into a gas?

zzz [600]

The answer is sublimation.

Sublimation is the chemical process whereby a solid turns into a gas without first becoming a liquid.

The word sublimation comes from the Latin word sublimare which means "raised to a higher status."

Examples of sublimation include surface layer of snow and ice turning into steam or fog without melting and dry ice which is the solid form of carbon dioxide which also undergoes sublimation.

The low temperature and sublimation makes dry ice an effective coolant or cooling agent . One of its main advantages is that it has a lower temperature than water ice and also does not leave any residue.

How many moles of oxygen gas (O2) are required to completely react with 10 moles of hydrogen gas (H2)?

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

5 moles of oxygen are required.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of O₂ required = ?

Moles of H₂ present = 10 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

O₂ + 2H₂ → 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and hydrogen.

H₂ : O₂

2 : 1

10 : 1/2×10 = 5 mol

5 moles of oxygen are required.

What is meant by the term sensitivity in Analytical Chemistry? (a) The term refers to the limit at which the absorption instrume

ivolga24 [154]

The term sensitivity in Analytical Chemistry is "the slope of the calibration curve or a function of analyte concentration or amount".

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In a sample, the little amounts of substances can be accurately evaluated by a method is termed as "Analytical sensitivity". This detect a target analyte like an antibody or antigen, process is considered as potential of a test to and generally demonstrated as the analyte's minimum detectable concentration.

The acceptable diagnostic sensitivity is not guaranteed by high analytical sensitivity. The percentage of individuals who have a given disarray who are identified by the method as positive for the disarray is known as "Diagnostic sensitivity".
