Answer:

HS+Na=>NaS+1/2H2(here HS- acts as an acid)

HS-. + HCl=> H2S(g)+ Cl-(here HS- acts as a base)

Determine the correct Lewis structure for ammonia (NH3). Note: Hydrogen and nitrogen have one and five valence electrons respect

Tresset [83]

The lewis structure is helpful in showing how the bonding between atoms of a molecule are. The lewis structure of ammonia would be that the nitrogen atom will share three pairs of electron with the three hydrogen atoms leaving nitrogen to have 1 lone pair.<span />

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 $HCI$

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

Answer:

Everyone, this is Ricky. And today we're working on Problem 51 from Chapter 22 and we're gonna determine the number of UNP. Aired electrons for the complex island of CEO seal for minus two I first up, let's determine the charge of art metal ion. So cue is our charge plus four minus one, which is a charge of each chloride ion. The overall charge of minus two Hugh is equal to plus two. I hope this will help
