Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic number solely represent the number of protons in the nucleus with the atomic mass representing both protons and nuetrons. There is no other answer that is applicable here. Even though you can select multiple 4 is the only correct answer.

What is the pH of a 900 mL solution containing 3.40 grams of hydrocyanic acid

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$pH = 5.05$

Explanation:

pH is derived from the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. Hydrocyanic acid is HCN.

First, we shall figure out the moles of HCN:

$\frac{3.4g}{27.03g/mol} = 0.125786$

If HCN was a strong acid:

HCN has a 1:1 ratio of H+ ions, the moles of H+ is also the same.

To find the molarity, we now divide by Liters. This gets us:

$\frac{0.125786 moles}{0.9L} = 0.139762 M$

Finally, we plug it into the definition of pH:

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(0.139762)$

$pH = 0.855$

However, since HCN is a weak acid, it only partially dissociates. The $K_a$ of HCN is $6.2 * 10^{-10}$ .

$K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

We can use an ice table to determine that when x = H+,

$K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.125786-x}$

$[H^+] = 8.83*10^{-6}$

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(8.83 * 10^{-6} )$

$pH = 5.05$
