I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.
The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.
Answer:
The net ionic equation is as follows:
HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)
Explanation:
The reaction between Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and sodium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.
Hydrocyanic acid being a weak acid ionizes only slightly, while sodium hydroxide being a strong base ionizes completely. The equation for the reaction is given below:
A. HCN(aq) + NaOH-(aq) ----> NaCN(aq) + H2O(l)
Since Hydrocyanic acid is written in the aqueous form as it ionizes only slightly and the ionic equation is given below:
HCN(aq) + Na+(aq)+OH-(aq) ----> Na+(aq)+CN-(aq) + H2O(l)
Na+ being a spectator ion is removed from the net ionic equation given below:
HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)
because it has ns1 electron configuration like the alkali metals
Don't understand the text, but water always freezes at 0°C as long as its water.
