A compound is known to be Na2CO3, Na2SO4, NaOH, NaCl, NaC2H3O2, or NaNO3. When a barium nitrate solution is added to a solution

containing the unknown a white precipitate forms. No precipitate is observed when a magnesium nitrate solution is added to a solution containing the unknown. What is the identity of the unknown compound

Answer:

Na₂SO₄

Explanation:

Barium nitrate, Ba(NO₃)₂ produce precipitate with SO₄²⁻, CO₃²⁻. That means the precipitate could be obtained from Na₂SO₄ and Na₂CO₃.

Also, magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO₃)₂, produce precipitate just with CO₃²⁻. As the unknown solution produce no precipitate, the unknown compound is:

<em>Na₂SO₄</em>

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be &gt;7, &lt;7, or =7?
never [62]
PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7

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.
