The pH of a solution is 9.02.
c(HCN) = 1.25 M; concentration of the cyanide acid
n(NaCN) = 1.37 mol; amount of the salt
V = 1.699 l; volume of the solution
c(NaCN) = 1.37 mol ÷ 1.699 l
c(NaCN) = 0.806 M; concentration of the salt
Ka = 6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰; acid constant
pKa = -logKa
pKa = - log (6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰)
pKa = 9.21
Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for the buffer solution:
pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)
pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)
pH = 9.21 + log (0.806M/1.25M)
pH = 9.21 - 0.19
pH = 9.02; potential of hydrogen
