What is the percent composition HCN?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

see calculations in explanation

Explanation:

percent = part/total x 100%

part = ∑ atomic mass of element

  • hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
  • carbon = 12.011 amu
  • nitrogen = 14.007 amu

total = ∑ molecular mass of compound

       = H amu  +  C amu +  Namu

       = 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu

       = 27.026 amu

%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%

%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%

%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%

Check results ∑%values = 100%

3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%

Balance the following skeleton ionic reaction, and calculate E°cell to decide whether the reaction is spontaneous: Ag(s) + Cu2+
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

A calorie is another term for carbohydrate.TF
Hunter-Best [27]
<span>This is false. A carbohydrate is a carbon-based molecule that can be utilized by living organisms in order to produce energy. A calorie is a unit of energy often used to measure the amount of energy within food. Another example of energy unit is the Joule, more commonly used within physics.</span>

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex
ohaa [14]
No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.

Bomb calorimeters are often used to determine the amount of energy stored in foods. You can find the molar enthalpy of combustio
marta [7]
Butter is made of milk, which is made of several things. To do calculations with bomb calorimetry, we often need the number of moles of the substance that we’re using. Since we can’t just say “moles of milk”, it’s not on a table.
