2NaCN(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) --> Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2HCN(g)
The molar ratio between NaCN : HCN is 2:2 or 1:1
Mass of HCN = 16.7 g
Molar mass of HCN = 1 + 12 + 14 = 27 g/mol
Molar mass of NaCN = 49 g/mol
Therefore, the mass of NaCN is
16.7 g of HCN x 49 g/mol of NaCN / 27 g/mol of HCN = 30.3 grams of NaCN
Therefore, 30.3 grams of NaCN gives the lethal dose in the room.
Because society has shaped our mind on what we shall think about things
In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).
Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol
To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=

%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%
The direction of heat flow is from surroundings to system (air to ice), the dry ice is subliminating.
