Question

Flask A Flask B Flask C 25.0 mL of 0.200 M HCN 50. 0 mL of 0.300 M NaCN 10. 0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH Based on these flasks, contents, and concentrations, match the following answers to their respective inquiries. How many moles of HCN are in Flask A? A. 0.005 m How many moles of CN are in Flask B? B. 0.015 m When the contents of flasks A and B are combined, what is the resulting concentration of HCN? C.0.0667 M D. 0.20 M When the contents of flasks A and B are combined, what is the resulting concentration of CN?

Explanation / Answer

When flask A and B are mixed to form the buffer .

Before mixing [HCN] in flask A = 25x0.2 = 5 mmoles = 0.005 mol

before mixing the moles of NaCN in flask B = 50x0.3 /1000 = 0.015 mol

we have HCN and NaCN in the buffer solution after mixing.

HCN + NaCN

25x0.2/75= 0.067 50x0.3/75=0.2

NOw NaOH 10ml of 0.1 M is added to this

HCN + OH- -----------------> CN- + H2O is the reaction that takes place.

0.067 0 0.2 inital concentrations

The answers are

Q1) moles of HCN in flask A = 0.005

2) moles of NaCn in flask B = 0.015

3) [HCN] after mixing A and B = 0.067 M

4) [CN-] after mixing = 0.2M
