Answer: a) HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) HCN : acid CN^- :conjugate base.

And, H_2O : base H_3O^+: conjugate acid.

c) HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases H^+ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of HCN acid is given by:

HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

HCN is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms CN^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of NaCN in water.

NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCN and HCI

NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)

1. Calculate the heat change associated with cooling a 350.0 g aluminum bar from
Amanda [17]

Answer:

14175 j heat released.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of aluminium = 350.0 g

Initial temperature = 70.0°C

Final temperature = 25.0°C

Specific heat capacity of Aluminium = 0.9 j/g.°C

Heat changed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Heat change:

ΔT = Final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 25.0°C - 70°C

ΔT = -45°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 350 g × 0.9 j/g.°C  × -45°C

Q = -14175 j

For many purposes we can treat ammonia (NH) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -33.C. Suppose the temper
levacccp [35]

Answer:

In homeothermic (“warm-blooded”) animals, body temperature is carefully  

regulated. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, acts as the master ther-

mostat to keep body temperature constant to within a fraction of a degree  

Celsius in a healthy animal. If the body temperature starts to deviate much  

from the desired constant level, the hypothalamus causes changes in blood  

flow and initiates other processes, such as shivering or perspiration, to bring  

the temperature back to normal. What evolutionary advantage does a con-

stant body temperature give the homeotherms (e.g., birds and mammals)  

over the poikilotherms (e.g., reptiles and insects), whose body temperatures  

are not kept constant? What are the disadvantages?

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction? A) PbCO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) ––––> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
sveta [45]

Answer:

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)

Explanation:

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?

A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.

explain why the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen gas molecule form nonpolar covalent bonds but oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water mo
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.
