Calculate the volume of a 1.25 M solution of HCN made from 31 grams of HCN

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

V HCNsln = 0.9176 L

Explanation:

V HCNsln = ?

∴ m HCN = 31 g

∴ C HCNsln = 1.25 mol/L

∴ molar mass HCN = 27.0253 g/mol

⇒ V HCNsln = (31 g)*(mol/27.0253 g)*(L/1.25 mol) = 0.9176 Lsln

Reptile [31]

When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation:
