Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of $NaCN$ in water.

$NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of $NaCN$ and $HCI$

$NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

what is the largest number you can add to 6.022x10^23 without changing its display value on a calculator

zheka24 [161]

The value given is called the Avogadro's number. It is the number of particles in every 1 mole of any substance. I think this is a trial and error process. Input 6.022x10^23 into your calculator. Add to this a number consisting of the maximum digit which is 9. Apparently, when 10×10¹³ is added, the display already changes. Therefore, the largest number would have to be 10×10¹².

Compare how mammals care for their young with the other groups of animals.

slega [8]

Well, even though some baby mammals are born different ways, they all drink milk that comes from their mothers' bodies. Baby pigs, dolphins, bats and elephants all drink milk! Because the babies rely on their mother's milk to live, the mammalmommies have to care for their young.

How are work and power related? (site 1)

Fynjy0 [20]

Although technically energy and work are same things, there is intuitive difference between them.

work is an activity involving a force on an object and the distance traversed by the object due to the force. It can be measured by the change in energy.

Energy is capacity of doing work.For example if a something has energy of x joule it can perform x joule work.

Power is the work done in unit time.
