A chemist titrates 120.0 mL of a 0.4006 M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution with 0.6812 MNaOH solution at 25 °C. Calculate the pH

at equivalence. The pKa of hydrocyanic acid is 9.21.

Answer:

pH = 11.30

Explanation:

The reaction of HCN with NaOH is:

HCN + NaOH → H₂O + Na⁺ + CN⁻

<em>Where 1 mole of hydrocyanic acid reacts with 1 mole of NaOH.</em>

<em> </em>

Moles of HCN are:

0.1200L × (0.4006mol / L) = 0.04807moles HCN

Thus, at equivalence, moles of NaOH you must add are 0.04807moles. And you must add:

0.04807moles × (1L / 0.6812mol) = 0.07057L of the 0.6812M NaOH solution.

Concentration of CN⁻ at equivalence point is:

0.04807moles / (0.1200L + 0.07057L) = <em>0.252M CN⁻ </em>

<em />

This, CN⁻ is in equilibrium with water thus:

CN⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Where Kb is:

Kb = [HCN][OH⁻] / [CN⁻] <em>(1)</em>

Kb = Kw / Ka

Ka is -log pKa → 6.166x10⁻¹⁰

Kb = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6.166x10⁻¹⁰ = 1.62x10⁻⁵

Concentrations in equilibrium are:

[CN⁻] = 0.252M - X

[HCN] = X

[OH⁻] = X

Replacing in (1):

1.62x10⁻⁵ = [X][X] / [0.252M - X]

4.08x10⁻⁶ - 1.62x10⁻⁵X = X²

0 = X² +  1.62x10⁻⁵X - 4.08x10⁻⁶

Solving for x:

X = -0.002 → False answer. There is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00201 → Right answer.

As [OH⁻] = X; [OH⁻] = 0.00201

pOH is -log  [OH⁻]

pOH = 2.70

As 14 = pOH + pH

<em>pH = 11.30</em>

A chemistry student weighs out 0.027 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. Afte
QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L

What is the formula of the ionic compound composed of element X^2+ and element Y^-3?​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: X3Y2

Explanation:

The formula is

X has a valency of 2

Y has a valency of 3

So, we interchange the valencies

Therefore, the formula is

X3Y2

How many atoms are in 8.28 moles of aluminum?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 8.28 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 8.28 moles of Al:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³  atoms of Al

8.28 mol×6.022 × 10²³  atoms / 1mol

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al
