What is the ph of a 0. 10 m solution of NaCN at 25°C?(ka= 4. 9 x 10^-10for hcn at 25°C. )

Sagot :

The pH of a  a 0. 10 m solution of NaCN at 25°C is 11.15

Calculation

The reaction in the solution is given below

                   [tex]CN^{-} + H_{2} O[/tex] → HCN + [tex]OH^{-}[/tex]

initial                    0.1

change           ( -x)                (+x)

equilibrium     (  0.1 - x )         x

Kb = [HCN] [[tex]CN^{-}[/tex] ]/[[tex]CN^{-}[/tex] ]

Kb × Ka = Kw = 1.0 × [tex]10^{-14}[/tex]

Kb =  1.0 × [tex]10^{-14}[/tex] / 4.9  × [tex]10^{-10}[/tex] =  [HCN] [[tex]CN^{-}[/tex] ]/[[tex]CN^{-}[/tex] ] = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]/ (  0.1 - x )

Kb =  2.04× [tex]10^{-5}[/tex] = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]/ (  0.1 - x )

Since , [NaCN] /Kb > 100 , we can simplify the above equation to

=  2.04× [tex]10^{-5}[/tex] = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]/ (  0.1 )

x = 1.43 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] M = [HCN] = [ [tex]OH^{-}[/tex]]

Then pOH = 2.84

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14- pOH = 14 - 2.84 = 11.15

Therefore , the pH is 11.15
