Explanation:

To calculate [H3O+] in the solution we must first find the pH from the [ OH-]

That's

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

To calculate the pOH we use the formula

pOH = - log [OH-]

And [OH-] = 5.5 × 10^-5 M

So we have

pOH = - log 5.5 × 10^ - 5

pOH = 4.26

Since we've found the pOH we can now find the pH

That's

pH = 14 - 4.26

pH = 9.74

Now we can find the concentration of H3O+ in the solution using the formula

pH = - log H3O+

9.74 = - log H3O+

Find the antilog of both sides

<h2> H3O+ = 1.8 × 10^ - 10 M</h2>

The solution is basic since it's pH lies in the basic region.

Hope this helps you

alekssr [168]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (H^{+}) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of CN^{-} anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
