Calculate the H3O+ concentration of the following reaction if the initial concentration of hydrocyanic acid is 0.0100 M. HCN(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ H3O+ (aq) + CN– (aq) Kc=4.9 × 10^–10

Solutions

Expert Solution

HCN(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ H3O+ (aq) + CN– (aq)

   0.01                             0                      0                   (initial)

0.01 - x                         x                       x                    (at equilibrium)

Kc= [H3O+] [CN-] / [HCN]

4.9*10^-10 = x*x / (0.01-x)

since Kc is very small, x will be very small and it can ignored as compared to 0.01

so,0.01 -x will be approximately 0.01

4.9*10^-10 = x*x / (0.01)

x= 2.2*10^-6 M

Since [H3O+] = x

concentration of H3O + = 2.2*10^-6 M
