The task is
calculate pH of the 0,1M solution K
2Cd(CN)
4. For complex logβ=18,9 and pK
HCN=10
This is what I tried to do:
K
2(Cd(CN)
4)
2K
+ + Cd(CN)
42-Cd(CN)
4 Cd
2+ + 4CN
-then i convert β to K by K=1\β and I made "before\after" table from where I got concentrations: Cd(CN)
4=0,2-x ;Cd=x; Cn=4x
K=4x^5/0,1 and its 9,16x10^-5
CN
- +H
2O
HCN+OH
- Ka=10^-10
I did another table from where Ka=x^2/9,16x10^-5. when i put this into formula for pH it turned out that the answer is wrong.
I would be so greatfull for any hints
