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

Even though lead is toxic, lead compounds were used in ancient times as white pigments in cosmetics. What is the percentage of l
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of lead (IV) carbonate is Pb(CO_3)_2

To calculate the mass percentage of lead in lead (IV) carbonate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{\text{Mass of lead}}{\text{Mass of lead (IV) carbonate}}\times 100

Mass of lead = (1 × 207.2) = 207.2 g

Mass of lead (IV) carbonate = [(1 × 207.2) + (2 × 12) + (6 × 16)] = 327.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{207.2g}{327.2g}\times 0100=63.32\%

Hence, the mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

How can you determine the number of shells in an atom of a certain element, based
netineya [11]

Answer:  At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid

fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.

You wish to make a 0.285 M hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 12.0 M hydroiodic acid. How much concentrated acid
Inessa05 [86]

The amount, in mL, of the concentrated acid required, would be 1.1875 mL

<h3>Dilution</h3>

From the dilution equation:

m1v1=m2v2 where m1 and m2 = molarity before and after dilution, and v1 and v2 = volume before and after dilution.

m2 = 0.285M, m1 = 12.0M v2 = 50.0 mL

v1 = m2v2/m1 = 0.285x50/12 = 1.1875 mL

Thus, 1.1875 mL of the acid would be taken and diluted with water up to the 50 mL mark.
