Question
Idk how to do this. This is my attempt. I'm probably headed in the wrong direction because I don't know how to give an equation in terms of [H3O+]. I need help on all 4 parts please!
Explanation / Answer
a)
mol of NaOH = MV = 0.1*20*10^-3 = 0.002
mol of HCl = MV = 0.05*35*10^-3 = 0.00175
mol of NaOH left =0.002- 0.00175 = 0.00025
get OH-] = mol of OH- / Vtotal = 0.00025/((20+35)*10^-3) = 0.004545 M
Kw = [OH-][H3O+]
[H3O+] = (0^-14)/(0.004545) = 2.2*10^-12 M
this is NOT a buffer, only strong base in water solution
b)
Sodium cyanide --> NaCN --> NA+ + CN-
CN- + H2O <-> HCN + OH-
this is basic, weak base, no buffer formation
Kb = [HCN][OH-]/[CN-]
Kb = Kw/Ka
Kw/Ka = [HCN][OH-]/[CN-]
[H3O+] can be obtained once [OH-] data is obtained
[H3O´+] = Kw/[OH-]
c)
Na2CO3, HCl
this is complete neutralization
CO3-2 + H2O <-> HCO3- + OH- forms
Kb = [HCO3-][OH-]/[CO3-2]
Kb = Kw/Ka2
Kw/Ka2= [HCO3-][OH-]/[CO3-2]
solve for OH- then solve for H3O+
D)
this is a buffer, (basic) since weka base, NH3 and its conjugate acid, NH4+ re present
pH = pKa + log(NH3/NH4)
[H3O+] = 10^-(pH) = 10^-(pKa + log(NH3/NH4))
