1. At 25 °C, acid dissociation constant of HCN is 4.9 × 10–10 M.

Calculate the degree of

dissociation of HCN, if its concentrations are (i) 0.1 M and (ii) 0.01 M.

2. Calculate at 25 °C the pH of a solution of (a) 0.01 M HCl and (b) 10–7 M HCl.

3. A solution is 0.1 M in Cl–, 0.1 M in Br– and 0.1 M in I–. Solid AgNO3 is gradually added to this solution. Assuming
that the addition of AgNO3 does not change the volume,
answer the following:
(a) What concentration of Ag+ ions will be required to start precipitation of each of the three ions?
(b) Which ion will precipitate first?
(c) What will be the concentration of this ion when the second ion starts precipitating?
(d) What will be the concentration of both the ions when the third ion starts
precipitating? Given:
Ks(AgCl) = 1.7 × 10–10 M2;
Ks(AgBr) = 5.0 × 10–13 M2
and Ks(AgI) = 8.5 × 10–17 M2
