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:

Ka = \frac{[H_{3}O^{+}][CN^{-}]}{[HCN]} = 6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10} = \frac{x*x}{(0.5 - x)}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}*(0.5 - x) - x^{2} = 0

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:

pH = -log[H_{3}O^{+}] = -log(1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M) = 4.75    

Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.

c) The % reaction is the % ionization:

\% = \frac{x}{[HCN]} \times 100

\% = \frac{1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M}{0.5 M} \times 100

\% = 3.5 \cdot 10^{-3} \%          

Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

I hope it helps you!

Cobalt III hydroxide and nitric acid react according to the following balanced equation:
kati45 [8]
The mass of cobalt (III) needed is
m = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) ( 93 g/mol)
m = 97.65 g

The volume of nitric acid needed is
V = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) (3 mol / 1 mol) (1000 mL/1.6 mol)
V = 1968.75 mL

The moles of water produced is
n = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) (3 mol / 1 mol)
n = 3.15 moles

I would say A because it’s the only one that doesn’t conduct electricity. Ionic compounds conduct electricity, and covalent compounds do not.

When water is electrolyzed, it splits into hydrogen and oxygen.
Westkost [7]

The mass of water is equal to the combined mass of hydrogen and oxygen.

<h3>What is Mass?</h3>

This is defined as the quantity of matter in a physical body. The electrolysis reaction of water can be seen below:

2 H₂O ---> 2 H₂ + O₂

We can deduce that 36 grams of H₂O dissociated to give 4 grams of H₂ and 32 grams of O₂ which option D was chosen as the appropriate choice.

2. Choose the atom from each of the following pairs with the greater ionization energy: a. Be and Ba b. Al and Ar c. Ca and Cl
beks73 [17]

Considering the definition of ionization energy, the highest ionization energy belongs to the element:

a. Be

b. Ar

c. Cl

Electrons are held in atoms by their attraction to the nucleus, which means that energy is needed to remove an electron from the atom.

You should keep in mind that the electrons of the last layer are always lost, because they are the weakest attracted to the nucleus.

Ionization energy, also called ionization potential, is the necessary energy that must be supplied to a neutral, gaseous, ground-state atom to remove an electron from an atom. When an electron is removed from a neutral atom, a cation with a charge equal to +1 is formed.

In a group, the ionization energy increases upwards because when passing from one element to the bottom, it contains one more layer of electrons. Therefore, the valence layer electrons, being further away from the nucleus, will be less attracted to it and it will cost less energy to pluck them.

In the same period, in general, it increases as you shift to the right. This is because the elements in this way have a tendency to gain electrons and therefore it will cost much more to tear them off than those on the left which, having few electrons in the last layer will cost them much less to lose them.

Considering all the above, from each of the pairs, the highest ionization energy belongs to the element:

a. Be

b. Ar

c. Cl
