Why is cyanide ion negatively charged?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bogdan [553]3 years ago
8 0
The cyanide is CN^{-}
A carbon atom has 4 valance electrons and nitrogen has 5. Below is a Lewis-dot-structure of cyanide.
:N≡C.
The carbon atom is still one electron short of having a full octet and so it will seize another electron from almost anything, making the cyanide ion negative and whatever it took the electron from it now positive.

Copper has average atomic mass of 63.546 amu. It's two isotopes are Cu-63 (which is 69.17% abundant and has a mass of 62.9296 am
garri49 [273]

Answer: 69.152% → 63^Cu

30.848% → 65^Cu

Explanation:

As you know, the average atomic mass of an element is determined by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its naturally occurring isotopes.

Simply put, an element's naturally occurring isotopes will contribute to the average atomic mass of the element proportionally to their abundance.

8) Determine whether mixing each pair of the following results in a buffera. 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NH3 with 100.0 mL of 0.15 MNH4Cl
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a. 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 100.0 mL of 0.15 M NH₄Cl.

c. 50.0 mL of 0.15 M HF with 20.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH.

Explanation:

A buffer system is formed in 1 of 2 ways:

  • A weak acid and its conjugate base.
  • A weak base and its conjugate acid.

Determine whether mixing each pair of the following results in a buffer.

a. 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 100.0 mL of 0.15 M NH₄Cl.

YES. NH₃ is a weak base and NH₄⁺ (from NH₄Cl ) is its conjugate base.

b. 50.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl with 35.0 mL of 0.150 M NaOH.

NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.

c. 50.0 mL of 0.15 M HF with 20.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH.

YES. HF is a weak acid and it reacts with NaOH to form NaF, which contains F⁻ (its conjugate base).

d. 175.0 mL of 0.10 M NH₃ with 150.0 mL of 0.12 M NaOH.

NO. Both are bases.

815 cal of heat is added to 5.00 g ice at –20.0 °C. What is the final temperature of the water?
deff fn [24]
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of an object is obtained through the equation,
                                       H = m(cp)(20) + m (heat of fusion) + m(cp) (dT)
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific gravity, and dT is the change in temperature. The specific gravity of water is 0.5 cal/g.C. The third term is for water and cp is equal to 1 cal/g.C. Substituting the values,
                     815 cal = (5 g)(0.5 cal/g.C)(20C) + (80 cal/g)(5 g) + 5(1)(T2)
The value of T2 is 73 degrees C.
