chemical equilibrium

1 dm^3 of a solution is obtained by mixing 500cm^3 of 0.200 M HCl and 500cm^3 of 0.700M NaCN. Given that the dissociation constant of HCN is 4.0X10^-10 mol dm^-3, calculate the pH of the solution.

H+(aq) reacts with CN-(aq) to give HCN(aq):
H+(aq) + CN-(aq) → HCN(aq)
[HCN] = 0.2 x (500/1000) = 0.1 M
[CN-] = [0.7 x (500/1000)] - [0.2 x (500/1000)] = 0.25 M

Consider the following equilibrium:
HCN(aq) + H2O(l) ≒ CN-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
pH = pH - log([HCN]/[CN-])
pH = -log(4 x 10-10) -log(0.1/0.25)
pH = 9.8

The solution is alkaline. This is because HCN is a very weak acid, and the conjugate base CN^- is thus rather basic.
