What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 0.050 mol of NaCN with enough water to make a liter of solution

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

pH = 11

Explanation:

The equilibrium of a weak base as NaCN in water is:

NaCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + HCN(aq)

And kb, the equilibrium constant, is:

Kb = [OH⁻] [HCN] / [NaCN]

Where Kb of NaCN is 2.04x10⁻⁵

In the beginning, the [NaCN] is 0.050mol / L = 0.050M.

Both [OH⁻] and [HCN] are produced from this equilibrium, and its concentration is X, that is:

2.04x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.050M]

1.02x10⁻⁶ = X²

X = 1x10⁻³ = [OH⁻]

As pOH = - log [OH⁻]

pOH = 3.00

And pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 11

Answers

Answer:

i

[tex]J_{m} = 20 [/tex]

ii

[tex]J_{m} = 22.5 [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first temperatures is [tex]T_1 =  25^oC =  25 +273 =298 \ K[/tex]

   The second temperature is  [tex]T_2 =  100^oC =  100 +273 = 373 \ K[/tex]

Generally the equation for  the most highly populated rotational energy level is mathematically represented as

     [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{RT}{2B}]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Here R is the gas constant with value [tex]R =8.314 \ J\cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}[/tex]

Also  

      B is given as [tex]B=\ 0.244 \ cm^{-1}[/tex]

   Generally the energy require per mole to move 1 cm is  12 J /mole

So   [tex]0.244 \ cm^{-1}[/tex]  will require x J/mole

           [tex]x =  0.244 *  12[/tex]

=>          [tex]x =  2.928 \ J/mol [/tex]

So at the first temperature

     [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{8.314 * 298  }{2*  2.928 }]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - 0.5 [/tex]

=>  [tex]J_{m} = 20 [/tex]

So at the second temperature

           [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{8.314 * 373  }{2*  2.928 }]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - 0.5 [/tex]

=>  [tex]J_{m} = 22.5 [/tex]

If you collect 5.74 mL of O 2 at 298 K and 1.00 atm over 60.0 seconds from a reaction solution of 5.08 mL, what is the initial rate of the reaction

Answers

Answer:

7.71 × 10⁻⁴ M/s

Explanation:

The initial rate of the reaction can be expressed by using the formula:

[tex]\dfrac{\Delta [O_2]}{\Delta t}[/tex]

where the number of moles of O₂ = [tex]\dfrac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

where;

Pressue P = 1.00 atm

Volume V =5.74mL =  (5.74 /1000) L

Rate R = 0.082 L atm/mol.K

Temperature = 298 K

[tex]= \dfrac{1.00 \ atm \times \dfrac{5.74 }{1000}L}{0.082 \ L \ atm/mol.K \times 298 K}[/tex]

= 2.35 × 10⁻⁴ mol

Δ[O₂] = [tex]\dfrac{moles \ produced - initial \ mole}{\dfrac{5.08 }{1000}L }[/tex]

Δ[O₂] = [tex]\dfrac{2.35 \times 10^{-4} M - 0 M}{\dfrac{5.08 }{1000}}[/tex]

Δ[O₂]  = 0.04626 M

The initial rate = [tex]\dfrac{\Delta [O_2]}{\Delta t}[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac{0.04626}{60}[/tex]

= 7.71 × 10⁻⁴ M/s

In the laboratory you dissolve 18.7 g of copper(II) bromide in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 375mL.

Required:
a. What is the molarity of the solution?
b. What is the concentration of the copper(II) cation?
c. What is the concentration of the acetate anion?

Answers

Answer:

a) - 0.2 M

b) - 0.2 M

c)- 0

Explanation:

The chemical formula of copper (II) bromide is CuBr₂. Its molar mass (MM) is calculated as follows:

MM(CuBr₂)= MM(Cu) + (2 x MM(Br) = 63.5 g/mol + (2 x 80 g/mol)= 223.5 g/mol

a). Molarity = moles CuBr₂/1 L solution

moles CuBr₂ = mass/MM = 18.7 g x 1 mol/223.5 g = 0.084 mol

Volume in L = 375 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.375 L

M = 0.084 mol/(0.375 L) = 0.223 M ≅ 0.2 M

b). When is added to water, CuBr₂ dissociates into ions as follows:

CuBr₂ ⇒ Cu²⁺ + 2 Br⁻

We have 1 mol Cu²⁺ (copper (II) cation) per mol of CuBr₂. Thus, the concentration of copper (II) cation is:

0.2 mol CuBr₂ x 1 mol Cu²⁺/mol CuBr₂ = 0.2 M

c). The concentration of acetate anion is 0. There is no acetate anion in the solution (the anion from CuBr₂ is bromide Br⁻).
