Explanation / Answer

6. for the reaction,

Cd(CN)4^2- <==> Cd2+ + 4CN-

initial [Cd(CN)4^2-] = 0.250 M

       Cd(CN)4^2- <==> Cd2+ + 4CN-

I         0.250                    -             -

C          -x                      +x          +4x

E      0.250-x                   x            4x

So,

Kd = [Cd2+][CN-]^4/[Cd(CN)4^2-]

7.8 10^-18 = (x)(4x)^4/(0.250-x)

256x^5 + 7.8 x 10^-18x - 1.95 x 10^-18 = 0

x = 8.73 x 10^-11 M

So the equilibrium concentration of,

[Cd2+] = 8.73 x 10^-11 M

[CN-] = 4 x 8.73 x 10^-11 = 3.50 x 10^-10 M

7. For the reaction,

HgCl2 + 2NaCl <==> HgCl4^2-

Kf = 1.2 x 10^15

initial HgCl2 = 0.25 L x 0.1 M = 0.025 moles

initial NaCl = 0.02 moles

        HgCl2 + 2NaCl <==> HgCl4^2-

I       0.025      0.020                  -

C        -x            -2x                   +x  

E    0.025-x    0.02-2x                 x

So,

1.2 x 10^15 = x/(0.025-x)(0.02-2x)^2

2.16 x 10^14x^2 - 3 x 10^12x + 1.2 x 10^10 - 4.8 x 10^15x^3 = 0

so,

[HgCl4^2-] = x = 0.007 moles

9. a buffer is a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In NH4Cl (weak acid) and NaOH (strong base) we get NH4+/NH3 formation, which is a buffer.

Whereas, in NH3(weak base) and NaOH (strong base) we cannot form buffer with two bases. Their is no acid component in the buffer here.

10. pH of buffer

using Hendersen-Haselbalck equation,

pH = pKa + log(NaCH3CO2-/CH3COOH)

feeding the given values,

pH = 4.74 + log(0.030/0.25) = 3.82

pH = -log[H3O+]

[H3O+] = 1.51 x 10^-4 M

---

11. pH of buffer

using Hendersen-Haselbalck equation,

pH = pKa + log(NH3/NH4+)

feeding the given values,

pH = 10.25 + log(0.20/0.40) = 9.95
