There are at least two ways to look at this.

Method One :
The Zn in Zinc Cyanide belongs to valency two while the CN radical
belongs to valency one. As a result, you would need two CN radicals
to bond with the Zn to make it a stable compound. Hence the formula
being Zn(CN)₂

Method Two :
Since the mole of zinc is 4.7 mol and that of CN is 9.5 mol then that
means that there is twice as much moles of CN as there is Zinc
4.7 mol × 2 = 9. 4 mol. Thus the formula would be Zn(CN)₂

Calculate the number of grams contained in each of the following number of moles. Report your answer with the appropriate number

Debora [2.8K]

Answers:

a. 131.85 grams

b. 134.69 grams

To calculate the number of grams in the number of moles given for each compound, consider the formula:

Moles = No. of grams / molar mass

Therefore, to find the gram it will become:

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

a. 0.410 mol of NaCl (sodium chloride)

Molar mass of NaCl = (286.14 + 35.45) = 321.59

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 0.410 x 321.59 = 131.85 grams

b. 4.80 mol of C2H4 (ethylene)

Molar mass of C2H4 = (12.01 x 2) + (1.01 x 4) = 28.06

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 4.80 x 28.06 = 134.69 grams

Explain why an indicator is used in titration

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Titrations. Because a noticeable pH change occurs near the equivalence point of acid-base titrations, an indicator can be used to signal the end of a titration. When selecting an indicator for acid-base titrations, choose an indicator whose pH range falls within the pH change of the reaction.

Hope it helped!!

Describe the temperature changes that occur in ice as energy is added, starting in the frozen state and ending in the vapor stat

Ket [755]

Explanation:

When water is frozen then it is known as ice and its state is solid. So, its molecules will be held closer to each other as they are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, its temperature will be minimum as its molecules have least kinetic energy.

It is known that kinetic energy of a substance is directly proportional to temperature.

As, K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

where K.E = kinetic energy

T = temperature

k = boltzmann constant

When solid changes into liquid state then it means molecules of a substance has gained kinetic energy due to which there occurs more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature of substance also increases.

Whereas when liquid state of a substance changes intro vapor state then it means that more kinetic energy has gained by the molecules due to which there will be much more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature will be maximum in vapor state.
