Question

Ka for HCN is 5 × 10-10 at 25oC. For maintaining a constant pH of 9, the volume of 5 M KCN solution required to be added to 10 ml of 2M HCN solution is (log 2 = 0.3)

Options

A.4 ml
B.8 ml
C.2 ml
D.10 ml

Solution

Ka =  5 × 10-10        pKa  = 10 log 5 = 9.3
pH = pKb + log
9 = 9.3 + log     ⇒   - 0.3  = log 
0.3 = log      ⇒  = 2   ⇒  Vml  = 2 ml
