Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

What is the percent composition of dinotrogen pentoxide? With work shown please
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

%N = 25.94%

%O = 74.06%

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of N by the number of N atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(N): 2 × 14.01 g = 28.02 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of O by the number of O atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(O): 5 × 16.00 g = 80.00 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will sum the masses of N and O.

m(N₂O₅) = m(N) + m(O) = 28.02 g + 80.00 g = 108.02 g

Step 4: Calculate the percent composition  of N₂O₅

We will use the following expression.

%Element = m(Element)/m(Compound) × 100%

%N = m(N)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 28.02 g/108.02 g × 100% = 25.94%

%O = m(O)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 80.00 g/108.02 g × 100% = 74.06%

Copper oxide, CuO, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCI, to produce copper chloride, CuCL2 and water
spayn [35]

Explanation:

El óxido de cobre (II), también llamado antiguamente óxido cúprico ({\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}), es el óxido de cobre con mayor número de oxidación. Como mineral se conoce como tenorita.

{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}

Aquí, se forma junto con algo de óxido de cobre (I) como un producto lateral, por lo que es mejor prepararlo por calentamiento de nitrato de cobre (II), hidróxido de cobre (II) o carbonato de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}

El óxido de cobre (II) es un óxido básico, así se disuelve en ácidos minerales tales como el ácido clorhídrico, el ácido sulfúrico o el ácido nítrico para dar las correspondientes sales de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}

Reacciona con álcali concentrado para formar las correspondientes sales cuprato.

{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}

Puede reducirse a cobre metálico usando hidrógeno o monóxido de carbono:

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}
