2. The pOH of an aqueous solution of 0.408 M isoquinoline(a weak base with the formula C9H7N) is _______ * the formula for this is not -log[OH-]
Buffer: 3. A solution contains 0.460 M sodium cyanide and 0.314 M hydrocyanic acid. The pH of this solution is _____.
4. 2NOBr <-----> 2NO + Br2 If 0.234 moles of NOBr, 0.336 moles of NO, and .350 moles of Br2 are at equilibrium in a 17.9 L container at 455 K, the value of the equilibrium constant, Kp, is ______.

Explanation / Answer

1) H2O + NH3 -----> NH4+ + OH-

------ 0.538M 0 0

------- 0.538-x x x

Kb ammonia 1.8x10-5=[OH-][NH4+]/[OH-]= x2/0.538-x -------> x= 3.1x10-3M

[H3O+][OH-]=1x10-14

[H3O+]= 1x10-14/3.1x10-3= 3.23x10-12M

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Kb isoquinoline= 2.5x10-9

C9H7N + H2O -----> C9H7NH+ + OH-

0.408M ----- 0 0

0.408M -x x x

Kb= x2/0.408-x ----> x=3.19x10-5M -----> pOH= -log 3.19x10-5= 4.5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) pH= pKa + log [A-][HA]= 9.21 + log 0.460/0.314= 9.37

A- is the conjugated base of the acid HA, in this case CN- is the conjugated base of the acid HCN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Kc= [Br2][NO]2/[NOBr]2 =(0.35mol/17.9L) x (0.336mol/17.9L)2/(0.234mol/17.9L)2= 0.0403

Kp= Kc(RT)Dn

Dn= mol gas at product side - mol gas at the reagent side= 3-2 =1

Kp=0.0403 x 0.082L.atm/molK x 455K= 1.504

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) CO + Cl2 <------> COCl2

2.78 1.72 0

2.78-x 1.72-x x

x=1.38 atm, because x is the pressure of COCl2 in equilibrium.

Kp= PCOCl2/PCOxPCl2= 1.38/(2.78-1.38)(1.72-1.38)= 2.899
