I believe the answer would be A. Electronegativity increases across a period.
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a direct application of the equation for ideal gases.
Where:
- P = pressure = 1.25 atm
- V = volume = 25.2 liter
- R = Universal constant of gases = 0.08206 atm-liter/K-mol
- T = absolute temperature = 25.0ºC = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K
- n = number of moles
Solving for n:
Substituting:

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.
Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (
) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of
anion will be rapid and easy.
This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
