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.
mole is the standardized form of molarity
The solid form of a substance is usually more dense than its
liquid and gaseous forms. Similarly the liquid form is usually more dense than
the gaseous form. Ice floating in water is an exception that breaks the general
density rule. So option “A” is the correct option in regards to the given
question. In case of ice formation, actually the density of water decreases by
about 9%. This is the main reason behind ice floating in water. Pure water has
the maximum density at 4 degree centigrade.
