For preparing a buffers solution of given pH, we prefer to
choose an acid/base having pKa/pKb value as close as the
pH value.
These are all acidic buffers, so pH is given by pH = pKa +

23. A solution of HCOOH is titrated with KOH solution. When
half of the acid is neutralised, AgCN is added to make a
saturated solution. Calculate the solubility of AgCN in
milligram per 100 litres of solution. Ka (HCN) = 10–10, Ksp

30. At 700 K, CO2 and H2 reacts to form CO and H2O. For this
equilibrium reaction, Kc is 0.11. A mixture of 0.45 mole of
CO2 and 0.45 mole of H2 is heated to 700 K. When
equilibrium has been reached, another 0.34 mole of CO2
and 0.34 mole of H2 are added to the reaction mixture. Find
the millimoles of CO2 at the new equilibrium.

At equilibrium:

Moles of CO2 = moles of H2 = 0.45 x = 0.34
Moles of CO = moles of H2O = x = 0.11
After adding CO2 and H2,

At new equilibrium:
Moles of CO2 = moles of H2 = 0.68 y = 0.593
Millimoles of CO2 at the new equilibrium = 593.
