Can Hydrocyanic acid be a Lewis Acid? What about a Lewis Base?

FinnZ [79.3K]

HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.

λmax for the π → π* transition in ethylene is 170 nm. Is the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene greater than or less than t

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

Explanation:

The λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption. We could use it to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy difference as follows:

For ethylene

E= hc/λ= 6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/170×10^-9= 1.17×10^-18J

For cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

E= hc/λ=6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/230×10^-9=8.6×10^-19J

Therefore, the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su

Tpy6a [65]

Answer : The percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

$Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}$

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Fe_2O_3$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, $3.15\times 10^4mole$ of Fe produced from $\frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750$ mole of $Fe_2O_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2O_3$

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3$

Molar mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = 159.69 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg$

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = $2.86\times 10^3kg$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%$

Therefore, the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %

An unknown compound does not dissolve in water, is a nonelectrolyte and has a low melting point. Would it be an ionic compound?

Leviafan [203]

No, it's not an ionic compound.
The distinguishing properties of ionic compounds are that they dissolve in water (water's polarity pulls the ions apart), are electrolytes (dissociate into ions, which conduct electricity), and have high melting points (it takes a lot of energy to separate the ions without water or other polar compounds). Since the unknown compound has the opposite of all these properties, it's not ionic.
