Consider the following data on some weak acids and weak bases: acid base
name formula Ka name formula Kb
hydrocyanic acid HCN 4.9 x 10^-10 hydroxylamine HONH2 1.1 x 10^-1
hypochlorous acid HCIA 3.0 x 10^-18 ethylamine C2H5NH2 6.4 x 10^-4
Use this data to rank the following solutions in order of increasing pH. In other words, select a '' next to the solution that will have the lowest pH, a '' next to the solution that will have the next lowest pH, and so on.
a. 0.1 M KCIO
b. 0.1M HONH3Br
c. 0.1M NaCN
d. 0.1M NaI

the answer is a for sure mark brainliest i had got this right on usatestprep

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
