Solid NH4SH is introduced into an evacuated flask at 24oC. The following reaction takes place

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.

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.
