First, it combines with carbon dioxide in the soil to form a weak acid called carbonic acid. ... Carbonic acid slowly dissolves away minerals in rock, especially the carbonate minerals that make up limestone and marble. The weak acid decomposes the insoluble rock into watersoluble products that move into the groundwater.

A buffer solution contains 0.496 M hydrocyanic acid and 0.399 M sodium cyanide . If 0.0461 moles of sodium hydroxide are added t

pochemuha

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63

Explanation : Given,

The dissociation constant for HCN = $pK_a=9.31$

First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

$\text{Moles of HCN}=\text{Concentration of HCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.496M\times 0.225L=0.1116mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of NaCN}=\text{Concentration of NaCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.399M\times 0.225L=0.08978mole$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$HCN+NaOH\rightarrow NaCN+H_2O$

Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978

At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)

0.0655 0.1359

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=9.31+\log (\frac{0.1359}{0.0655})$

$pH=9.63$

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63
