What is the pH of a 2.62 x 10 ^-1 M HCN solution? NB the pK_a for HCN = 9.212.

Expert Solution

pKa = 9.212

- LogKa = 9.212

Ka = 10^-9.212

Ka = 6.14 * 10^-10

Accoding to Ostwald's theory of weak acids,

[H⁺] = sqrt.(KA* C)

= sqrt.(6.14 * 10^-10 * 2.62 * 10^-1)

= 1.27 * 10^-5 M

Therefore,

pH = - Log[H⁺]

= - log(1.27 * 10^-5)

= 4.90

What is the pH of a 1 x 10-7 M solution of HCl? Please note that you cannot simply add the contribution of H+ ions from the autoproteolysis of water and the contribution from the dissociation of HCl. You will need to use the quadratic equation to solve this problem and report the answer to 4 significant figures. For a hint see the Acids and Bases handout on Canvas.
