Can Hydrocyanic acid be a Lewis Acid? What about a Lewis Base?

Chemistry
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]2 years ago
8 0

HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.

One of the emission spectral lines for Be3+ has a wavelength of 253.4 nm for an electronic transition that begins in the state w
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Relationship between wavenumber and Rydberg constant (R) is as follows:

wave\ number=R\times Z^2\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_1^2}

Here, Z is atomic number.

R=109677 cm^-1

Wavenumber is related with wavelength as follows:

wavenumber = 1/wavelength

wavelength = 253.4 nm

wavenumber=\frac{1}{253.4\times 10^{-9}} \\=39463.3\ cm^{-1}

Z fro Be = 4

39463.3=109677\times 4^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\39463.3=109677\times 16(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\n_1=4

Therefore, the principal quantum number corresponding to the given emission is 4.

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "
Tju [1.3M]
I believe the answer is compound B may have a lower molecular weight compared to compound A. 
At the same temperature, lighter particles of a compound have a higher average speeds than do heavier particles of another compound. Thus, particles of compound B are lighter than those of compound A and thus they have a higher average speed, hence evaporating faster compared to compound A.

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required
stira [4]
The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.

The last element in any period always has:
brilliants [131]

Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.

Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.

The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).

  • The electronic configuration for Helium is 1s^2. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
  • The electronic configuration for all the other elements is ns^2ns^6 ( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.

All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.

Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.

USPshnik [31]
Molar mass Na = 23g/mol
46g = 456/2 = 2mol
1mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
2mol = 2*6.022*10623
= 1.204*10^24 atoms
