What is the pH of a buffer solution that contains 0.40 mol hydrocyanic acid (HCN) and 0.30 mol potassium cyanide (KCN) in water sufficient to yield 1.0 L of solution?  Hint: The Ka of HCN is 4.9 x 10-10.

Which of the following statements regarding reactions rates is true?

The diagrams here represent solutions at various stages in the titration of a weak base B (such as NH3) with HCl. Which image best represents the solution in the at the inital stage before the addition of HCl ? 

Given the following reduction potentials:                                                               Eored Cr3+(aq)  + 3e- →  Cr(s)                      –0.74 V Fe3+(aq)  +  e- →  Fe2+(aq)                 +0.77 V Calculate the equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction.               Cr(s)    + 3    Fe3+(aq)   →   Cr3+(aq) + 3 Fe2+(aq) Hint:  Remember that a voltaic cell runs on a spontaneous redox reaction.   Hint: Make sure to determine the total moles of electrons transferred for the cell.

Copper metal, Cu (s), is produced by running a current through a solution of Cu2+ in an electrolytic cell. How many grams of copper metal can be deposited from Cu²⁺(aq) when a current of 1.50 A is run for 75 min? Hint:  F = 96,500 C/mol e− Hint:  1 A = 1 C/s

Congratulations! You have completed (and survived) CHM 116!  It was a pleasure to share the semester with you, and I hope you have a truly fantastic summer!  This is a free question – Pick YES if you would like to get the free points!   Grades will be calculated as quickly as possible after the Final Exam closes on Tuesday, May 6 at 11:59 pm MST.  Announcements will go out to let you know that point totals have been added to Canvas.  Please don’t email with questions about your grades – I won’t have any answers for you if you haven’t seen an announcement.  And don’t worry, you will get a chance to review your scores before grades are submitted to the University.   Congratulations on crossing the finish line!
