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.
The molality of a solute is equal to the moles of solute per kg of solvent. We are given the mole fraction of I₂ in CH₂Cl₂ is <em>X</em> = 0.115. If we can an arbitrary sample of 1 mole of solution, we will have:
0.115 mol I₂
1 - 0.115 = 0.885 mol CH₂Cl₂
We need moles of solute, which we have, and must convert our moles of solvent to kg:
0.885 mol x 84.93 g/mol = 75.2 g CH₂Cl₂ x 1 kg/1000g = 0.0752 kg CH₂Cl₂
We can now calculate the molality:
m = 0.115 mol I₂/0.0752 kg CH₂Cl₂
m = 1.53 mol I₂/kg CH₂Cl₂
The molality of the iodine solution is 1.53.
Answer:
![3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3.90%2A10%5E%7B-25%7Dkg%2Fatom)
Explanation:
The molar mass of uranium-235 is 235 g/mol. So one mole of uranium-235 has a mass of 235 g. Put differently 6.022×10^23 atoms of uranium-235 have a mass of 235 g. Knowing that, how can we use that to find the mass of one atom?
mass of one atom = ![\frac{235 g}{1mol} *\frac{1 mol}{6.022*10^{23}atoms } *\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B235%20g%7D%7B1mol%7D%20%2A%5Cfrac%7B1%20mol%7D%7B6.022%2A10%5E%7B23%7Datoms%20%7D%20%2A%5Cfrac%7B1kg%7D%7B1000g%7D%3D%203.90%2A10%5E%7B-25%7Dkg%2Fatom)
The answer is C. Arrhenius bases increase the concentration of OH- in solution.
