What is the molecular shape of HCN

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0
Linear Hydrogen Cyanide. In this example, HCN, the Lewis diagram shows carbon at the center with no lone electron pairs. The carbon and nitrogen are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has two electron pairs and is linear<span>.</span>

Adding hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated fatty acid will make it __________.
xxMikexx [17]

The answer is (a.) more solid

 

Adding hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated fatty acid will make it more solid. This process is called hydrogenation. In this process, hydrogen is added to an unsaturated fatty acid to make it more saturated and thereby more solid at a room temperature.

What initially forms as pale blue and pale green precipitate when nh3 is added to cuh2o6?
andre [41]
The chemical equation that shows the reaction between nh3 and cuh206 is detailed as: [Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 2NH3(aq). —> [Cu(OH)2(H2O)4](s) + 2NH4 + (aq). the blue precipitate is Cu(OH)2(H2O)4 in which the blue color is caused by the Cu present in the solid.

How many grams of Br are in 335g of CaBr2
ASHA 777 [7]
The answer is 267.93 g

Molar mass of CaBr2 is the sum of atomic masses of Ca and Br:
Mr(CaBr2) = Ar(Ca) + 2Ar(Br)
Ar(Ca) = 40 g/mol
Ar(Br) = 79.9 g/mol
Mr(CaBr2) = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 g/mol

The percentage of Br in CaBr2 is:
2Ar(Br) / Mr(CaBr2) * 100 = 2 * 79.9 / 199.8 * 100 = 79.98%

Now make a proportion:
x g in 79.98%
335 g in 100%
x : 79.98% = 335 g : 100%
x = 79.98% * 335 g : 100%
x = 267.93 g

Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) +
VMariaS [17]

Explanation:

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.

On the other hand;

Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.

HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-

In the forward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HF

Bronsted-Lowry base: SO32-

In the backward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HSO3-

Bronsted-Lowry base: F-

The conjugate base of HF is F-

The conjugate acid of SO32- is HSO3-

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission
Vesnalui [34]
Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.
