What is the molecular shape of HCN

1 answer:

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>

Boiling point of a solution formed when 15.2 grams of CaCl2 dissolves in 57.0 g of water. kB= 0.512 c/m.

Nookie1986 [14]

100.133 degree celsius is the boiling point of the solution formed when 15.2 grams of CaCl2 dissolves in 57.0 g of water.

Explanation:

Balanced eaquation for the reaction

CaCl2 + 2H20 ⇒ Ca(OH)2 + HCl

given:

mass of CaCl2 = 15.2 grams

mass of the solution = 57 grams

Kb (molal elevation constant) = 0.512 c/m

i = vont hoff factor is 1 as 1 mole of the substance is given as product.

Molality is calculated as:

molality = $\frac{grams of solute}{grams of solution}$

= $\frac{15.2}{57}$

= 0.26 M

Boiling point is calculated as:

ΔT = i x Kb x M

= 1 x 0.512 x 0.26

= 0.133 degrees

The boiling point of the solution will be:

100 degrees + 0.133 degrees (100 degrees is the boiling point of water)

= 100.133 degree celcius is the boiling point of mixture formed.

Answer:

$K=1.7x10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by firstly setting up the equilibrium expression for the given reaction, in agreement to the law of mass action:

$K=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}$
