Answer #1

initially

.pH = pKa + log [CN-] / [HCN]

pKa of HCN = 9.2.

pH = 9.2 + log [0.206] / [0.392]

pH = 8.92

after 0.042 mol HI added

[HCN] = 0.392 + 0.042 = 0.434 M

[CN-] = 0.206 - 0.042 = 0.164 M

pH = 9.2 + log [0.164]/[0.434]

pH = 8.78

pH change = 8.78 - 8.92 = - 0.14.

negative sign represent decreasing pH value
