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!

What does an increase in temperature do to the reaction rate?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction because an increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision.Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

Consider the reaction given below.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • <u>K =  0.167 s⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>

  • Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.

  • Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

        r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>

  • Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

         Divide r₂ by r₁:     [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

  • Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

                                  2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

         

<u>3) Write the rate law</u>

  • r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>

With the first set of data

  • r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K =  0.167 s⁻¹
