Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of

work the system could perform? (a) Boil off water from the container (increasing the concentration of all species) (b) Add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) (c) Selectively remove CNfrom the solution (d) Add water to the reaction vessel (e) Increase the concentration of the HCN

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (H^{+}) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of CN^{-} anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.

2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3 which of the following options gives the correct reactant ratio?
Mademuasel [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: Fe:Cl_2=2:3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of the amount of moles of two substances that are participating in a chemical reaction.

In the given chemical equation:

2Fe+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2FeCl_3

The reactants are Fe and Cl_2 and the product is FeCl_3

The mole ratio is basically the stoichiometric ratio of the chemical compounds taking part in a chemical reaction.

The mole ratio of reactants is stoichiometric ratio of Fe and Cl_2, which is:

Fe:Cl_2=2:3

Hence, the reactant ratio in the given chemical equation will be: Fe:Cl_2=2:3
