A Determine the pH of 29x105M HCN Express answers in two dec
(A) Determine the pH of 2.9x10^-5M HCN. Express answers in two decimal places.
(B) Determine the pH of 2.9x10^-5M C6H5NH2. Express answers in two decimal places.
Solution
(a)Reaction HCN ---> H+ + CN-
pH = -log10[H+] = -log10(2.9*10^-5) = 4.53...........ANS
(b)Reaction = C6H5NH2 + H20 -------> C6H5NH3+ + OH-
pH = 14 + log10[OH-]
pH = 14 + log10(2.9*10^-5) = 9.46..........ANS
