If the Ka of HCN = 5.0 x 10^-10
Since
(Ka) (Ka) - 1 x 10^ -14
then
the Kb of its conjugate base (CN-) = 2.0 X 10^-5

since
pH + pOH = 14
when the pH = 10.00
then
the pOH = 4.00
& the OH-
would then equal 1.0 X 10^-4

NaCN as a base does a hydrolysis in water:
CN- & water --> HCN & OH-
notice that equal amounts of OH- & HCN are formed

Kb = [HCN] [OH-] / [CN-]

2.0 X 10^-5 = [1.0 X 10^-4] [1.0 X 10^-4] / [CN-]

[CN-] =(1.0 X 10^-8) / (2.0 X 10^-5)

[CN-] = (5.0 X 10^-4)

that's 0.00050 Molar
which is 0.00050 moles in each liter of aqueous KCN solution
which is
0.00025 moles KCN in 500. mL of aqueous KCN solution

use molar mass of KCN, to find grams:
(0.00025 moles KCN) (65.12 grams KCN / mole) = 0.01628 grams of KCn

which is 16.3 mg of KCN
& rounded to the 2 sig figs which are showing in the Ka of HCN , "5.0" X 10^-10
your answer would be
16 mg of KCN

sorry even after making a correction in calcs , I don't get one of your answers.
the only way that I could get one of them is to pretend that yours was a 1 sig fig problem,
in which case your 16 mg would round off to 20 mg.
but you have 3 sig figs in "500. ml", & 2 sig figs in both the "pH of 10.00."
& The Ka of HCN = "5.0 x 10^-10."

it does however take 12 mg of NaCN, to make 500. mL of aqueous solution pH of 10.00. the molar mass of NaCN has the smaller molar mass of 49.00 grams per mole.
maybe they meant NaCN, but wrote KCN instead.

I hope i answered this correctly for you.

What is the molar concentration of HBr if 25 mL of the acid is titrated 15.3 mL of 0.5 M KOH?
kherson [118]
Using the titration formula, we get that:

(concentration of HBr)(25)=(0.5)(15.3)

This means the molar concentration of HBr is (0.5)(15.3)/25 = 0.31 M

A certain substance X condenses at a temperature of 123.3 degree C . But if a 650. g sample of X is prepared with 24.6 g of urea
Pavel [41]

Answer:

<u>The molal boiling point elevation constant is 1.59 ≈  1.6</u> Kkgmol^{-1}

Explanation:

To solve this question , we will make use of the equation ,

ΔT_{b} = i*K_{b} *m

<em>where , </em>

  • <em>ΔT_{b} is the change in boiling point of the substance X ( °C or K)</em>
  • <em>i is the Vant Hoff Factor which = 1 in this case ( no unit )</em>
  • <em>K_{b} is the mola boiling point elevation constant of X ( Kkgmol^{-1})</em>
  • <em>m is the molality of the solution which has (NH_{2})_{2} CO as the solute and  X as the solution (molkg^{-1})</em>

  1. ΔT_{b} = 124.3 -123.3 = 1 °C or K;
  2. i=1;
  3. m= \frac{moles of solute}{weight of solvent(kg)}molkg^{-1}

           ∴ m = \frac{\frac{24.6}{60} }{\frac{650}{1000} }

  • <em>as the weight of (NH_{2})_{2} CO is 60g and thus number of moles = \frac{24.6}{60}</em>
  • <em>and the weight of solvent in kg is \frac{650}{1000}</em>

    4. K_{b} ⇒ ?

∴

1=1*K_{b} *\frac{\frac{24.6}{60} }{\frac{650}{1000} }

⇒ K_{b} = 1.59 ≈ 1.6 Kkgmol^{-1}

Why is the molecular formula for a disaccharide not double that of a monosaccharide?
Firlakuza [10]
The reason the molecular formula for a disaccharide is not simply double that of a monosaccharide is because when the covalent bond is formed between the carbons of each sugar, an H of one is removed along with an OH from the other. This resulting loss of an H + OH forms H2O (water), therefore the reaction combining the two sugars covalently is called a "dehydration synthesis."
For example, in combining 2 glucose (C6H12O6) molecules, instead of it being 2 × C6H12O6 = C12H24O12, the dehydration synthesis removes 1 H2O to make room for the C-C covalent bond between the two sugars' carbons. Therefore it is 2 H's and 1 O less than that doubling, or: C12H22O11
