The formation constant* of [M(CN) 4 ]2− is 7.70 × 10 16 , where M is a generic metal. A 0.150 mole quantity of M(NO3)2 is added

to a liter of 0.820 M NaCN solution. What is the concentration of M2+ ions at equilibrium?

Answer:

0 M.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing reaction is:

M(NO_3)_2+NaCN\leftrightarrow [M(CN)_4]^{-2}+NaNO_3

Nonetheless, it only matters the reaction forming the given complex:

M^{+2}+4CN^-\leftrightarrow [M(CN)_4]^{-2}

In such a way, the formation constant turns out:

K_F=\frac{[[M(CN)_4]^{-2}]_{eq}}{[M^{+2}]_{eq}[CN^{-}]_{eq}^4}

Now, one could assume that the initial concentrations of the ions equals the original compounds concentrations:

[M^{+2}]_0=0.150M;[CN^-]_0=0.820M

In such a way, we modify the formation constant in terms of the change x due to the reaction progress:

K_F=\frac{x}{(0.150-x)(0.820-x)^4}=7.70x10^{16}

Now, solving for x:

x_1=0.15M\\x_2=0.82M

The feasible solution is 0.15M which will lead to an equilibrium concentration of M⁺² of 0M

[M^{+2}]_{eq}=0.15M-0.15M=0M

This fact has sense since the formation constant is very large.

Best regards.

The period 4 alkaline-earth metal has the name_______ . An isotope of this element having 20 neutrons has amass numberof _______
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The period 4 alkaline-earth metal has the name Calcium. An isotope of this element having 20 neutrons has a mass number of 40.

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table 4th row for the alkaline-earth metal, we can find Calcium which has an atomic number of 20 (or protons number, or z). The mass number is given by the sum of protons and neutrons. If the number of protons in this case is 20 and the number of neutrons is also 20, the mass number A = 40.

What is the molar mass of 12?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

I assume your talking about carbon when you say 12 so it'd be 12 grams if you are

Explanation:

The molar mass of any substance in grams per mole is numerically equal to the mass of that substance expressed in atomic mass units.

Hope this helps you some
