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.

Unknown element x has four energy levels, five valence electrons, and is a metalloid. what is elements x?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Element X is Arsenic (As)

Explanation:

  • Elements in the periodic table are either metals, non-metals or metalloids.
  • Metals are elements that react by losing electrons to obtain a stable configuration and form cation.
  • Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form a stable configuration and form anion.
  • Metalloids are elements in the periodic table that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
  • Examples of metalloids include Selenium, Arsenic, Boron, etc.
  • Arsenic is a metalloid in period 4 (four energy levels) with five valence electrons.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The unit used to measure atomic mass is the atomic mass unit (amu). A single amu is equivalent to 1/12 the mass of an atom from the carbon-12 isotopIsotopes with different numbers of protons and neutrons will have an actual mass slightly different from the atomic mass calculated in atomic mass units.

One of the emission spectral lines for Be3+ has a wavelength of 253.4 nm for an electronic transition that begins in the state w
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Relationship between wavenumber and Rydberg constant (R) is as follows:

wave\ number=R\times Z^2\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_1^2}

Here, Z is atomic number.

R=109677 cm^-1

Wavenumber is related with wavelength as follows:

wavenumber = 1/wavelength

wavelength = 253.4 nm

wavenumber=\frac{1}{253.4\times 10^{-9}} \\=39463.3\ cm^{-1}

Z fro Be = 4

39463.3=109677\times 4^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\39463.3=109677\times 16(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\n_1=4

Therefore, the principal quantum number corresponding to the given emission is 4.
