The noble gases AKA the column with full outermost valence shells. (Group 18)
This is true otherwise cancer patients would have a hole in them and so would the hulk ;)
The number of protons would be equivalent to the number of electrons if the net charge on the atom is 0.
<span>Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN</span>⁻(aq)
+ Na⁺<span>(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN</span>⁻ +
H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻<span>(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN</span>⁻<span>)
= 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) = 4.9·10</span>⁻¹⁰<span>.
Kb(CN</span>⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷
4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵<span>.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH</span>⁻]
/ [CN⁻<span>].
[HCN] · [OH</span>⁻<span>] =
x.
[CN</span>⁻<span>] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10</span>⁻⁵<span> = x² / (0.021 M
- x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH</span>⁻<span>] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.</span>
<span> </span> <span>V = nRT/P =
(0.875)(0.082057)(273)/(1) = 19.6 L</span>
