The ka for hcn is 4.9 ⋅ 10-10. What is the value of kb for cn-?

Chemistry
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The ka for HCN is:

HCN ⇄ H⁺ + CN⁻; ka = 4,9x10⁻¹⁰ <em>(1)</em>

The inverse reaction has an equilibrium constant of:

H⁺ + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN k = 1/4,9x10⁻¹⁰ = 2,0x10⁹ <em>(2)</em>

As the equilibrium of the water is:

H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻; kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ <em>(3)</em>

The sum of (2) + (3) gives:

H₂O + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN + OH⁻; kb = kw×k = 1x10⁻¹⁴×2,0x10⁹ =

2,0x10⁻⁶; <em>kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵</em>

<em />

<em>-In fact, the general formula to convert from ka to kb is:</em>

<em>kb = kw / ka-</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

How many atoms are in 2.10 g of K? molar mass of K=39.10g/mole.
Alborosie

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms we must first calculate the number of moles

Molar mass = mass / number of moles

number of moles = mass / Molar mass

Molar mass (K) = 39.10mole

mass = 2.10g

number of moles = 2.10/ 39.10

= 0.0537mol

After that we use the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10^23 entities

Number of K atoms is

N = 0.0537 × 6.02 × 10^13

<h3>N = 3.23×10^22 atoms of K</h3>

Hope this helps you.
