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.

Which relationship or statement best describes delta s for the following reaction:
zalisa [80]

Answer:

b) Delta S < 0

Explanation:

The change in the entropy (ΔS) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles of the reaction: Δn(g) = n(g, products) - n(g, reactants).

  • If Δn(g) > 0, the entropy increases (ΔS > 0).
  • If Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases (ΔS < 0).
  • If Δn(g) = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy

Let's consider the following equation.

2 H₂S(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)

Δn(g) = 2 - 5 = - 3. Since Δn(g) < 0, the entropy decreases and ΔS < 0.

"High-intensity" storms produce larger drops that fall faster than those of "low-intensity"storms and therefore have greater ability to destroy and dislodge particles from the soil matrix.
