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 size volumetric flask would you use to create a 0.50 M<br> solution using 10.00 g of CaBr2
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First convert the grams of Calcium Bromide to moles by using the atomic weight. Then use the formula for molarity, which is moles per liter.

CaBr2 = 199.9 g/mol

10/199.9 = 0.05 moles of CaBr2

0.5M=\frac{0.05mol}{x}

x = 0.1L or 100mL

Given the following equation: 8Fe+S8=8FeS
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. 2954g of FeS

b. 1143g of FeS

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

8 Fe + S₈ → 8 FeS

<em>8 moles of Fe reacts with 1 mole of S₈ to produce 8 moles of FeS</em>

<em />

a. 4.2mol sulfur produce:

4.2mol S₈ × ( 8 mol FeS / 1 mol S₈) = <em>33.6mol FeS</em>. As molar mass of FeS is 87.92g/mol, mass is:

33.6mol FeS × ( 87.92g / 1 mol FeS) = <em>2954g of FeS</em>

<em />

b. 13mol Fe produce:

13mol Fe × ( 8 mol FeS / 8 mol Fe) = <em>13mol FeS</em>. In mass:

13 mol FeS × ( 87.92g / 1 mol FeS) = <em>1143g of FeS</em>
