For a titration of 100m of 1.0M HCN, you added so far 98ml of 1.0M NaOH. Have you reached the equivalence point? If not what is the current pH? Ka for HCN =
4.5 x 10^-4
HCN + NaOH ------------> NaCN + H2O
no of moles of HCN = molarity * volume in L
= 1*0.1 = 0.1moles
no of moles of NaOH = molarity * volume in L
= 1*0.098 = 0.098moles
HCN + NaOH ------------> NaCN + H2O
I 0.1 0.098 0
C -0.098 -0.098 0.098
E 0.002 0 0.098
Pka = -logKa
= -log4.5*10^-4
= 3.3467
PH = PKa + log[NaCN]/[HCN]
= 3.3467+ log0.098/0.002
= 3.3467+1.69 = 5.0367 >>>>answer
