(((NEED ANSWER QUICK!!!))) Which is the stronger conjugate base, CN- or OCN-? Explain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The stronger conjugate base will be the weaker acid; i.e., the acid with the smaller Ka-value.

Explanation:

Given conjugate base CN⁻ => weak acid => HCN =>  Ka =4.9 x 10⁻¹⁰

Given conjugate base OCN⁻ => weak acid=> HOCN => Ka = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴

Ka(HCN) << Ka(HOCN) => CN⁻ is a much stronger conjugate base than OCN⁻

If the concentration of products is increased the equilibrium is shifted from * left to right/ to the left/ right to left /down
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

to the left

Explanation:

<u>If the concentration of products is increased for a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift to the left side of the reaction (the reactant's side). </u>

For a reaction that is in equilibrium, the reaction is balanced between the reactants and the products. According to Le Cha telier's  principle, if one of the constraints capable of influencing the rate of reactions is applied to such a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift so as to neutralize the effects created by the constraint.

<em>Hence, in this case, if the concentration of the products of a reaction in equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium would shift in such a way that more reactants are formed so as to annul the effects created by the increase in the concentration of the products. Since reactants are always on the left side of chemical equations, it thus means that the equilibrium would shift to the left.</em>

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

What is the relationship between a scientific theory and a scientific law
grigory [225]
A scientific theory focuses on explaining a phenomenon, while a law will have a generalised statement about said phenomenon. Often times, we use laws to help us develop theories. =)

A compound is formed when 9.03 g
NikAS [45]

The percent composition  of this compound :

Mg = 72.182%

N = 27.818%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

9.03 g  Mg

3.48 g  N

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

Total mass of the compound :

= 9.03 g + 3.48 g

= 12.51 g

The percent composition :

Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%

N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
