Isocyanic acid (HNCO) can be prepared by heating sodium cyanate in the presence of solid oxalic acid according to the equation:
2 NaOCN(s) + H2C2O4(s) 2 HNCO(l) + Na2C2O4(s)
Upon isolating pure HNCO(l), an aqueous solution of HNCO can be prepared by dissolving the liquid HNCO in water. What is the pH of a 100. mL solution of HNCO prepared from the reaction of 10.0g each of NaOCN and H2C2O4, assuming all of the HNCO produced is dissolved in solution? Ka of HNCO = 1.2 10-4.
