The pH of a .0727 M aqueous sodium cyanide, KCN, solution at 25 degrees C

Kb = [HA} [OH-] / [A-] where [A-] represents the concentration of CN- (.068M)

Kb = Kw / Ka = 1 x10-14 / 4.9 x 10-10 = 2 x 10-5

Since this is a salt solution which could be considered to have formed from the neutralization of a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid (HCN), the Na+ will have no effect on the pH of the solution while the CN- ion will undergo hydrolysis:

CN- + H2O --> HCN + OH-

Based on this equation, the quantities of HCN and OH- produced must be the same and therefore [HCN]=[OH-]. We will set this equal to x.

Plugging into the original equation yields:

2 x 10-5 = x2 / .068 M

Solving for x yields 1.2 x 10-3 whidh is equal to the [OH-]

The pOH then is equal to -log (1.2x10-3) = 2.9

The pH of the solution would be 14 - 2.9 = 11.1

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?
Gemiola [76]
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
