Question

What are the concentrations of each species in the reaction when you reach equilibrium of a 0.15 M solution of HCN?

HCN(aq)⇌H+(aq)+CN-(aq) 

Kc = 4.9×10−10






Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :-

Initial concentration of HCN = 0.15 M 

Kc = 4.9 × 10-10 

To calculate :- equilibrium concentration of all species.     [HCN], [H+],[CN-]
