Answer:
d. why matter exists
Explanation:
The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".
In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.
Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.
<span>Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN</span>⁻(aq)
+ Na⁺<span>(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN</span>⁻ +
H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻<span>(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN</span>⁻<span>)
= 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) = 4.9·10</span>⁻¹⁰<span>.
Kb(CN</span>⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷
4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵<span>.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH</span>⁻]
/ [CN⁻<span>].
[HCN] · [OH</span>⁻<span>] =
x.
[CN</span>⁻<span>] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10</span>⁻⁵<span> = x² / (0.021 M
- x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH</span>⁻<span>] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.</span>
The atom has equal amount of Protons and electrons it is Neutral
This question can be easily confused with. During the early times, organic compound are directly associated with living beings, people, plants and animals. That is somewhat true. The definition of organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon. So, it is true that most of the compounds in our body are organic. But you may confuse it to the abundance of elements in the body, which is oxygen. However, the most abundant element, besides carbon, in organic compounds is Hydrogen. You will notice this obviously in the organic compounds like alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones and proteins. Their general chemical formula usually involves Carbon and Hydrogen.
