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.

Question 14 A student dissolves 1.5g of styrene C8H8 in 225.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.02/gmL . The student notices tha
Yuki888 [10]

We must to know:

Cm = molarity = niu / Vs, when the niu = no. of moles and Vs = Volume of solution

the no. niu = mass / molecular mass of substance

molecular mass of C8H8 = 12x8+8x1 = 104 g/mol

=> niu = 1,5 / 104 = 0,0144 moles C8H8

=> Cm = 0,0144/0,225 = 0,06 mol/L

Cmm = molality = niu (C8H8) / mass of solvent (kg)

=> p = mass / V => mass (solvent) = p x V

=> 225 x 1,02 = 229,5 g solvent = 0,2295 kg solvent

=> Cmm = 0,0144 / 0,229,5 = 0,063

1. A student collected the following data for a fixed volume of gas: Temperature (⁰C) Pressure (mm of Hg) 10 726 20 750 40 800 7
zimovet [89]

Answer is: the missing pressure is 1088.66 mmHg.

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.

p₁ = 960 mmHg; pressure of the gas.

T₁ = 100°C + 273.15.

T₁ = 373.15 K; temperature of the gas.

T₂ = 150°C + 273.15.

T₂ = 423.15 K.

p₂ = p₁T₂/T₁.

p₂ = 960 mmHg · 423.15 K / 373.15 K.

p₂ = 1088.66 mmHg.
