Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid.
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN
NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃
CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻
Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:
Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰
Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴
Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺:
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw
</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰
Then, Kb for CN⁻:
Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw
Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.
NaCl is an ionic compound because Chlorine is a nonmetal and Sodium is a metal (Alkali Metal Group)
<span>After many experiments and many different approaches to the question, the scientist may be able to develop a theory. The theory explains why nature behaves in the way described by the natural law. It answers not only the original question, but also any other questions that were raised during the process. The theory also predicts the results of further experiments, which is how it is checked. Theories are not the end of the process.</span>
As iron heats up, the arrangement of its atoms changes several times before it melts. ... Iron is magnetic at room temperature, and previous work predicted that iron's magnetism favors its open structure at low temperatures, but at 770 degrees Celsius iron loses its magnetism.
