Chlorine. Electronegativity rises as you go up and to the right on the periodic table.

Will the ph of a solution of nh4cn be >7, <7, or =7?

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.

Explanation:

If you have 12 gallons and get 21.3mpg,

-Multiply 21.3 by 12

-you can travel 255.6 miles before running out of gas.

-If you need to estimate, round up to 256 miles.

What characterizes a system at equilibrium?
stira [4]

Answer:

D. There is no net change to the system

Explanation:

Equilibrium means "equal". In a chemical system, changes occur in substances called the reactants to produce another substance called the products. These changes from reactants to products and vice versa occur at an uneven rate until EQUILIBRIUM is reached.

In other words, equilibrium is attained when the reactants and products are formed at an equal or constant rate i.e. There is no net change to the system. For example, in the chemical system below:

A + B ⇌ C + D

This system is said to be at "EQUILIBRIUM" if the rate of reaction of the reactants (A and B) is equal to that of the products (C and D). That is, there is no net change (difference) in the reaction rate.

Chlorine is more reactive than nitrogen why​
OLga [1]

But nitrogen is inert at room temperature whereas chlorine is highly reactive, the reason is: Nitrogen exists as N triple bond N at room temperature while chlorine exists as Cl single bond Cl at room temperature. Since the bond dissociation energy of triple bond is larger than that of single bond.
