In the presence of hydrogen sulfide, hydrocyanic acid would act like a base instead of an acid.
A. No, as in the reaction of a weak acid, hydrogen sulfide with a weak base, hydrocyanic acid, the products formed will be the same on both sides of the reaction equation.
B. Hydrocyanic acid will at as base in presence of hydrogen sulfide because of the higher value of pKa of hydrocyanic acid than that of hydrogen sulfide.
*acid strength is inversely proportional to pKa value, i.e., strong acids have lower pKa value and weaker acid have higher pKa values.
C. Of the three acids mentioned, the weakest acid (with the highest pKa value= 9.21), hydrocyanic acid forms the most stable conjugate base.
Hydrogen sulfide has a pKa of 7.05. If hydrocyanic acid has a pKa of 9.21 and...
1) Based on your experimental rate law, is it possible that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide over a platinum catalyst (2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)) occurs in a single step? Briefly justify your response. 2) A student is preparing a sulfate buffer to maintain a pH of approximately 2.0. Given that the pKa of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) is 1.2, what ratio of sulfate (SO4 2- ) to bisulfate (HSO4 - ) would create a buffer of pH 2.0? The acid...
Lab 5 Buffers 1. Dissolved ions in salt solutions can act as acids or bases and react with water to produce hydronium ions or hydroxide ions that contribute to the pH of the salt solution. Since strong acids and strong bases completely ionize in solution, the reverse reaction essentially does not occur, meaning that the resulting conjugate base of a strong acid or conjugate acid of a strong base do NOT act as acids or bases. Ions that are conjugate...
