pH = 14 – pOH = 14 – 1.40 = 12.60
2. This is an acidic buffer problem because a weak acid and a salt of the weak acid are
present in appreciable quantities. From Table 16.3, the Ka of HCN = 4.9 x 10-10.

5. This is a hydrolysis problem. The salt is the salt of a strong acid and strong base, so
neither Na+ (weak conjugate acid) nor NO3‾ (weak conjugate base) will hydrolyze. Both
these ions are spectator ions. Thus, the only [H3O+] or [OH‾] is from the dissociation of
water.
[Na+] = [NO3‾] = 0.45 M
[H3O+] = [OH‾] = 1.0 x 10-7 M
[H2O] = 55.5 M
6. This is also a hydrolysis problem. The K+ is a spectator because it is the weak
conjugate acid of a strong base. Nitrite ion will hydrolyze:

11. Here you need to find the reaction quotient, Q, and compare it to the Ksp.
Find the new molarity of calcium ions and carbonate ions:

(200 mL)(0.0040 M)
 1.3 x 10 - 3 M Ca2 
600 mL
(400 mL)(0.0003 3 M CO32-)
 2.2 x 10 - 4 M CO32 600 mL
Calculate the reaction quotient, Q:
Q = [Ca2+][ CO32- ] = (1.3 x 10-3 )(2.2 x 10-4) = 2.9 x 10-7
Compare Q and Ksp for calcium carbonate. The Ksp of CaCO3 is 8.7 x 10-9.
2.9 x 10-7 > 8.7 x 10-9.
Q
> Ksp
Since Q > Ksp , the solubility has been exceeded (equilibrium is too far to the right), so a
precipitate will form.
12. This is a complex ion equilibrium problem.
Calculate the moles of Cu2+ and moles of CN ˉ:
mol Cu2+ = (0.100 L )(0.10 mol Cu2+/L) = 0.010 mol Cu2+
mol CN ˉ = (0.100 L)(0.50 mol CN ˉ/L) = 0.050 mol CN ˉ
Cu2+(aq) + 4 CNˉ(aq) ↔ Cu(CN)42-(aq)
init

change - 0.010 mol - 0.040 mol

Notice that 0.010 mol of CN ˉ remains in excess. The new concentration of CN ˉ will be:
0.010 mol CN [CN-] 
 0.10 M CN 0.100 L soln
The concentration of complex ion, Cu(CN)42- produced in solution is:
