Answer:

Ka = 4.9 X 10^-9

Explanation:

when the pH  is 4.95

the [H+] = 10^-4.95

[H+] = 1.122 e-5

since the equilibrium equation is:

HCN <=> 1 mole H+  &  1 mole CN-

then

[H+] = [CN-]

when

HCN <=>  H+  &   CN-

Ka = [ H+]  [CN-]  / [HCN]

Ka = [ 1.122 e-5]  [ 1.122 e-5]  / [0.255]

Ka = 1.256 e-10 / 0.255

Ka = 4.94 e-9

which rounds off to 2 sig figs into

Ka = 4.9 X 10^-9

======================

p.s. it was the pH pf 4.95 that limited the calculations to 2 sig figs

Which of the following is true regarding nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Zarrin [17]
<h2>Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion - Option C</h2>

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion both of these processes can provide energy. Nuclear fission is the process in which heavy nucleus splits into smaller parts. When they split into smaller particles then it releases energy.

On the other hand, nuclear fusion is the process in which small particles fuse together to form a heavy nucleus. With the formation of heavy nucleus, it also provides energy.

Therefore, both these processes release or provide energy.

Which of the following changes will always be true for a spontaneous reaction? (3 points)
Alika [10]
Answer is: <span>- delta G.
</span>The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: <span>ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.
</span>ΔH<span> is the change in enthalpy.
</span>ΔS is change in entropy.
T is temperature of the system.
When ΔG is negative, a reaction (<span>occurs without the addition of external energy)</span><span> will be spontaneous (</span>exergonic).
