Below is the Lewis structure of the hydrogen cyanide molecule.
1 answer:
Answer :
The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2
The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10
According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.
The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2
The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Answer: Mass of produced in this reaction was 6.56 grams
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Mass or reactants = Mass of + mass of
= 16.00 + 64.80 = 80.80 g
Mass of products = mass of aqueous solution + mass of + = 74.24 + x g
Mass or reactants = Mass of products
80.80 g = 74.24 + x g
x = 6.56 g
Thus mass of produced in this reaction was 6.56 grams
