Answer:
2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L
Explanation:
The equation for the equilibrium is
CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-
Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10
KaKb = Kw
4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14
Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5
Now, we can set up an ICE table
CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-
I/(mol/L) 0.255 0 0
C/(mol/L) -x +x +x
E/(mol/L) 0.255 - x x x
Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5
Check for negligibility
0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255
x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6
x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6) = 2.28 × 10^-3
[OH^-] = x mol/L = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L
Answer:
1.13 x 10²⁴formula units
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of NH₄Cl = 1.87mol
Unknown:
Number of formula units = ?
Solution:
From mole concept;
1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ formula units
Now;
1.87 moles of NH₄Cl 1.87 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.13 x 10²⁴formula units
They all have endoskeletons that are formed of bone or cartilage. Hope this helped! (:
