PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7

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.
Answer:
P2 = 900 mmHg.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial pressure = 450 mmHg
Initial temperature = 100°C
Final temperature = 200°C
To find the final pressure, we would use Gay Lussac's law;
Gay Lussac states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

Making P2 as the subject formula, we have;


Final pressure, P2 = 900 mmHg.

Answer:
Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J
Explanation:
Internal energy = heat + work done
U = Q + W
In a cyclic process the total internal energy change of the system = 0.
In the process there are two steps. The total heat exchange in the process is the sum of heat exchanges in the two processes.
We have to find the heat exchange in step 2.
In step 1,
W = 1.25 J Q = -37 J
= -37 + 1.25 = -35.75 J
In step 2, the internal energy change will be negative of that in step 1.
U = 35.75 J
W = -12 J
U = Q + W
35.75 = Q -12
Q = 47.75 J
Heat transfer in step 2 = 47.75 J
