1.Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.
2.Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.
3.Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
4.Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is.
Answer:
kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵
Explanation:
The ka for HCN is:
HCN ⇄ H⁺ + CN⁻; ka = 4,9x10⁻¹⁰ <em>(1)</em>
The inverse reaction has an equilibrium constant of:
H⁺ + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN k = 1/4,9x10⁻¹⁰ = 2,0x10⁹ <em>(2)</em>
As the equilibrium of the water is:
H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻; kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ <em>(3)</em>
The sum of (2) + (3) gives:
H₂O + CN⁻ ⇄ HCN + OH⁻; kb = kw×k = 1x10⁻¹⁴×2,0x10⁹ =
2,0x10⁻⁶; <em>kb = 2,0x10⁻⁵</em>
<em />
<em>-In fact, the general formula to convert from ka to kb is:</em>
<em>kb = kw / ka-</em>
<em />
I hope it helps!
Format Method - Writing the symbol of the cation and then the anion. Add whatever subscripts in order to balance the charges.
Crisscross Method - The numerical value of the charge of each ion is crossed over and becomes the subscripts for the other ion.
Answer: C
Explanation: The ocean floor is largely unexplored so no one knows what it is like.
