2NaCN(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) --> Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2HCN(g)
The molar ratio between NaCN : HCN is 2:2 or 1:1
Mass of HCN = 16.7 g
Molar mass of HCN = 1 + 12 + 14 = 27 g/mol
Molar mass of NaCN = 49 g/mol
Therefore, the mass of NaCN is
16.7 g of HCN x 49 g/mol of NaCN / 27 g/mol of HCN = 30.3 grams of NaCN
Therefore, 30.3 grams of NaCN gives the lethal dose in the room.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given that:
X = number of protons − number of core electrons
Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.
The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

where,
= effective nuclear charge
Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons
= Screening constant
The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.
Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
