Question

Please answer this question fully and please please answer it if you're 100% sure of the correct answer and mark the answer please! Thank you! A cyanide ion-selective electrode obeys the equation given below E Constant 0.05916 log[CN The potential was -0.230 V when the electrode was immersed in 1.00 mM NaCN. (a) Evaluate the constant in the preceding equation. (b) Using the result from part (a), find [CN if 0.286 V. HINT: Use several extra significant figures in your answer from part (a) when calculating the answer to part (b) to avoid rounding errors. M (2 significant figures)

Explanation / Answer

(a) Evaluate the constant in the equation.      

answer = -0.407

E = K – 0.05916 log [CN–]

-0.230 = K – 0.05916 log (1.00 x 10-3)

Constant, K = -0.407 V

====================================================

, find [CN-] if E = -0.286 V.

-0.286= -0.407 – 0.05916 log [CN–]

[CN–] = 1.55 x10^-2 M
