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:

Sodium-calcium exchanger on the sarcolemma

Explanation:

The sodium-calcium exchanger which is an antiporter membrane protein, removes calcium from cells. The energy of the electrochemical gradient of sodium is used by allowing it to flow down its gradient while moving across the plasma membrane

What is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that could be obtained from 6 mol of barium chloride?
kodGreya [7K]
You have to find the stoichiometric ratio between AlCl₃ and BaCl₂. The common element between them is Cl. So, the ratio of Cl in BaCl₂ to AlCl₃ is 2/3. The molar mass of AlCl₃ is 133.34 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of AlCl₃ = (6 mol BaCl₂)(2 mol Cl/1 mol BaCl₂)(1 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl)(133.34 g/mol) = 533.36 g AlCl₃
