Answer:

It can be a bronsted Lowry acid but not a bronsted Lowry base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry acid are proton donors, and HSCN can donate a proton, but it cannot accept a proton, hence not a bronsted Lowry base

Answer:

Explanation:

A Brönsted-Lowry acid is defined as any substance that has the ability to lose, or "donate a proton" [H +].

A Brönsted-Lowry base is a substance capable of gaining or "accepting a proton" [H +].

Then a proton transfer occurs, which requires the presence of a proton donor, that is, an acid and a base that accepts them.

This theory has the disadvantage of leaving out several substances that are acidic and that do not have protons.

Thiocyanic acid is a chemical compound that can be considered, but not a Bronsted Lowry base, giving up the proton and generating the anion [SCN] -

Chemical reactions forming ions _____.

Sergeu [11.5K]

The answer should be <span>balance electrically

</span><span>Chemical reactions that form ions should have a balanced charge. The example of the reaction is HCl. When forming ions, the equation should be:
HCl => </span> $H^{+}$ + $Cl^{-}$
In this case, the hydrogen has one plus charge and chlorine has one negative charge. The resultant should be zero, so it's balanced.

One of the intermediates in the synthesis of glycine from ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane is aminoacetonitrile, C2H4N2. The

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

3CH₄ (g) + 5CO₂ (g) + 8NH₃ (g) → 4C₂H₄N₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

From the equation, 3 moles of CH₄ reacts with 5 moles of CO₂ and 8 moles of NH₃ to produce 4 moles of C₂H₄N₂ and 10 moles of H₂O

Molar masses of the compounds are given below below:

CH₄ = 16 g/mol; CO₂ = 44 g/mol; NH3 = 17 g/mol; C₂H₄N₂ = 56 g/mol; H₂O g/mol

Comparing the mole ratios of the reacting masses;

CH₄ = 1.65/16 = 0.103

CO₂ = 13.5/44 = 0.307

NH₃ = 2.21/17 = 0.130

converting to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio

CH₄ = 0.103/0.103 = 1

CO₂ = 0.307/0.103 = 3

NH₃ = 0.130/0.103 = 1.3

Multiplying through with 5

CH₄ = 1 × 5 = 5

CO₂ = 3 × 5 = 15

NH₃ = 1.3 × 5 = 6.5

Therefore, the limiting reactant is NH₃

8 × 17 g (136 g) of NH₃ reacts to produce 4 × 56 g (224 g) of C₂H₄N₂

Therefore, 2.21 g of NH₃ will produce (2.21 × 224)/136 g of C₂H₄N₂ = 3.64 g of C₂H₄N₂

Mass of C₂H₄N₂ produced = 3.64 g
