It is rinsed one last time with the solution to be measured because if there is water in the burret, then it could alter the results. Slightly, but it is still altering it.
The question is incomplete. Complete question is:
<span>Consider the given acid ionization constants. identify the strongest conjugate base.
</span>HNO2(aq) 4.6×10−4
HCHO2(aq) 1.8×10−4
HClO(aq) 2.9×10−8
HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10
.........................................................................................................................
Correct Answer: option
4: HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10
Reason:
According to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid and base. Stronger the acid, weaker will be the conjugate base.
In present case, ionization constant is highest of HCN i.e. 4.9×

. This signifies that, it is the strongest acid. Hence, conjugate base associated with this acid (i.e.

) is the weakest.
<span>To solve this we need to balance the equations first.
So Hg + S --> HgS is balanced
One mole of Hg requires one mole of S to form one mole of HgS.
Number of moles of Sulphur = mass/ molar mass = 157/32 = 4.906
So 4.90 moles of S reacts with 4.90 moles of Hg.
Hence there are 4.90 moles of 4.90 of Hg.
Mass = number of moles * molar mass of Hg
Mass = 4.906 * 200.59 = 982.891g</span>
The correct answer should be B.
The correct answer would be B.
