CN considered as a weak base even if its the conjugate base of a weak acid. When it is in aqueous solution, it accepts a hydrogen ion forming hydrogen cynide and an OH- ions which makes it a Bronsted -Lowry base. Also, it has a pKb of 4.79 which makes it basic in nature.

There are diffrent types of cells for every job in your body. How do we refer to those cells that develop differently?
kotykmax [81]

<u>Answer:</u>

Those cells that develop differently are referred  to Specialised Cells.

<u> </u><u>Explanation:</u>

Specialised cells are the one that is assigned to perform a specific role. Every specialised cell in the body is assigned to do their own job. The special features in them help them to perform their functions effectively.

Examples of specialised cells are- red blood cells (they are responsible to carry oxygen in the body), nerve cells (specialises in transmitting electrical signals) and muscle cells (brings body parts together).

Calculate the moles of SO₂ produced when 5 moles of FeS₂ reacts according to the equation: 4FeS₂+ 11O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₂
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10 moles of SO₂ are produced when 5 moles of FeS₂

Explanation:

Stoichiometry: it is the theoretical proportion in which the chemical species are combined in a chemical reaction. The stoichiometric equation of a chemical reaction relates molecules or number of moles of all the reagents and products that participate in the  reaction.

In other words, stoichiometry establishes relationships between the molecules or elements that make up the reactants of a chemical equation with the products of said reaction. The relationships established are molar relationships (that is, moles) between the compounds or elements that make up the chemical equation.

The stoichiometric coefficients of a chemical reaction indicate the proportion in which said substances react.

Taking into account the above, you can apply the following rule of three: by stoichiometry if 4 moles of FeS₂ produce 8 moles of SO₂, then when reacting 5 moles of FeS₂ how many moles of SO₂ will they produce?

moles of SO_{2} =\frac{5 moles of FeS_{2} *8moles of SO_{2}}{4 moles of FeS_{2}}

moles of SO₂= 10

<u><em>10 moles of SO₂ are produced when 5 moles of FeS₂</em></u>
