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

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

<em>That's </em><em>because</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>water</em><em> </em><em>NaF </em><em>will </em><em>dissolve</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>produce </em><em>Na</em><em>+</em><em>,</em><em>the </em><em>conjugate </em><em>base </em><em>of </em><em>a </em><em>strong</em><em> </em><em>acid </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>will </em><em>not </em><em>react </em><em>with </em><em>water.</em><em>h</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>F- </em><em>will </em><em>behave </em><em>like </em><em>a </em><em>bronsted </em><em>base,</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>accept</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>proton </em><em>from </em><em>water.</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>called </em><em>hydrolysis</em><em> </em><em>reaction,</em><em> because</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>molecule</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>water </em><em>is </em><em>broken </em><em>up.</em>

<em>a </em><em>conjugate</em><em> base</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>what </em><em>I </em><em>leftover </em><em>after </em><em>an </em><em>acid </em><em>loses </em><em>a </em><em>hydrogen</em><em> </em><em>ion.</em>

<em>I </em><em>hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em>
