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

What is the molar ratio for the following equation after it has been properly balanced?
slava [35]
The answer 
<span>the molar ratio for the following equation 
____C3H8 + ____O2 Imported Asset ____CO2 + ____ H2O

</span>after it has been properly balanced:
__1_C3H8 + ____5O2 Imported Asset ____3CO2 + ____ 4H2O

proof:
number of C =3  (C3H8;   3CO2)
number of H =8 (C3H8 ; 4H2O)
number of O = 10(5x2) or (2x3+4)  (5O2;4H2O)

the answer is 
<span>Reactants: C3H8 = 1, O2 = 8; Products: CO2 = 3 and H2O = 4</span>

Reil [10]
The heat transfer formula is;
Q = m * c * Δ T >>>> (1)
where, Q is the heat transfer
m = mass  (gram)
c = the specific heat capacity (J/g)
Δ T = change in temperature
∵ we have one mole of Ethanol
∴ the weight of ethanol equals its molecular weight = (2*12)+(6*1)+(16) = 46 g
we will assume that the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 J/g (from google) 
ΔT = 25 - 320 = - 295 C
By substitution in (1)
∴ Q = 2.46 * 46 * (-295) = - 33382.2 J

Heating a solution of alcohol and water, then collecting the alcohol vapors and condensing them into a liquid with higher alcoho
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Distillation.

Explanation:

If we are heating a mixture of two miscible liquids and collecting the vapors it means we are separating the two mixtures from each other based on their boiling point differences.

This technique of separation of two liquids based on the difference in boiling point is known as Distillation.

Alcohol will evaporate easily as compared to water as water has stronger influence of hydrogen bond making the inter-molecular forces stronger.
