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.

why is it essential to know the water temperature in this experiment- to find the vapor pressure of the water
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of a liquid varies with temperature

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of any liquid is directly proportional to the temperature of the liquid. This implies that, as the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise and vice versa.

Since the vapour pressure of liquid varies with the temperature of the liquid, it is essential to know the water temperature in the experiment to determine the vapour pressure of water.
