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

Determine the empirical formula of a
k0ka [10]

Answer:

AuCl

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Gold  = 2.6444g

Mass of Chlorine  = 0.476g

Unknown:

Empirical formula  = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Here is the way of determining this formula.

Elements                                     Au                                             Cl

Mass                                         2.6444                                     0.476

Molar mass                                 197                                          35.5

Number of moles                  2.6444/197                                 0.476/35.5

                                                 0.013                                           0.013

Divide by the

smallest                                 0.013/0.013                                 0.013/0.013

                                                       1                                                   1

The empirical formula of the compound is AuCl

mylen [45]

He can conclude that his experiment has very low precision.

<h3>What is Precision ?</h3>

Precision is defined as the degree of refinement with which an operation is performed or a measurement .

Precision is how close the exact answers are together.

As, the answers are increasing in time.

None of the answers are similar to one another.

Hence, He can conclude that his experiment has very low precision.
