Answer:
a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M
b) pH = 4.75
c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %
Explanation:
a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:
HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)
0.5 M - x x x
The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:
By solving the above quadratic equation we have:
x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]
Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.
b) The pH is equal to:
Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.
c) The % reaction is the % ionization:
Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

Answer:
The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa
Temperature T = 300 K
collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2
Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K
<u>To determine:</u>
The mean free path, λ
<u>Calculation:</u>
The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:
where n = number density
Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:
Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:
