How many grams of solid sodium cyanide should be added to 1.00 L of a 0.119 M hydrocyanic acid solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 8.809

1.62 g

Explanation:

Given that:

Concentration of HCN = 0.119 M

Assuming the ka 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰

The pKa of  HCN (hydrocyanic acid)  = -log (Ka)

= - log ( 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰)

= 9.398

pH of buffer = 8.809

Using Henderson Hasselbach equation:

[CN^-] = 0.2576[HCN]

[CN^-] = 0.2756 (0.119) L

[CN^-] = 0.033 M

∴

The amount of NaCN (sodium cyanide) is calculated as follows:

= 1.62 g

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
