Consider the following equilibrium reaction of cyanic acid (HCNO) in water: HCNO(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + CNO-(aq) a. Write the expression for the acid ionization constant, Ka (3 pts) b. The concentration of H3O+, [H3O+], 0.10 M solution of cyanic acid is 0.0010 M. Calculate the Ka for cyanic acid. Assume that [HCNO] at equilibrium is 0.10 M due to the negligible dissociation of the acid (3 pts) c. Find the pKa of the above solution. (2 pts) d. What is the pH of the above solution? (2 pts)
