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>

We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave
MrMuchimi

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H14. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a pal
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.

Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.

When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.

However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
tiny-mole [99]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
