The reaction below virtually goes to completion because cyanide ion forms very stable complexes with Ni2+ ion:[Ni(H2O)6]2+(aq) +

4 CN-(aq) → [Ni(CN)4]2-(aq) + 6 H2O(l)At the same time, incorporation of 14C labelled cyanide ion (14CN-) is very rapid:[Ni(CN)4]2-(aq) + 4 14CN-(aq) = [Ni(14CN)4]2-(aq) + 4 CN-(aq)Which statement below is correct with regard to stability and rate of reaction?

Answer:

Option A and D are correct.

Unstable species react rapidly.

Stable species do not react rapidly.

Explanation:

The complete question is attached to this solution.

The more stable a reactant is, the less reactive it will be. A stable reactant has a very stable structure in which it will avoid any perturbations. And for a reaction to occur, the bonds in the reactant must break down to form the products. A stable reactant has very strong bonds that aren't easy to break down, hence, reactions involving very stable reactants do not proceed rapidly.

And the more unstable a reactant specie is, the more rapidly it reacts. This is why the reaction involving the less stable isotope of carbon; Carbon-14 is very rapid. It is the same reason as explained above that is responsible for this. The bond between unstable species are not strong and are easily breakable, thereby leading to a quick reaction.

Hope this Helps!!!

A sample of argon gas at 55°C is under 845 mm Hg pressure. What will the new temperature be if the pressure is raised to 1050 mm
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The final temperature at 1050 mmHg is 134.57 ^{\circ}C or 407.57 Kelvin.

Explanation:

Initial temperature = T = 55^{\circ}C = 328 K

Initial pressure = P = 845 mmHg

Assuming final  to be temperature to be T' Kelvin

Final Pressure = P' = 1050 mmHg  

The final temperature is obtained by following relation at constant volume

\displaystyle \frac{P}{P'}=\displaystyle \frac{T}{T'} \\ \displaystyle \frac{845 \textrm{ mmHg}}{1050 \textrm{ mmHg}} = \displaystyle \frac{328 \textrm{ K}}{T'} \\T' = 407.57 \textrm{ Kelvin}

The final temperature is 407.57 K
