Calculate the value of K in the following reaction:
HCN (aq) + F- (aq) <-------> CN- (aq) + HF (aq)
Ka for HCN = 6.2 x 10^-10 Ka for HF = 7.2 x 10^-4
HCN <=> H+ + CN- ( ka1 = 6.2*10^-10 )
HF <=> H+ + F- ( ka2 = 7.2*10^-4)
Reversing the reaction
H+ + F- <=> HF ( 1/ ka2 = 1388.89)
Adding the reaction
HCN + F- = CN- + HF
K(net) = k1 * 1/K2
= 6.2*10^-10 * 1388.89
= 8.611*10^-7
