PH of a solution will be <span>higher than 7
</span>
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.
Answer:
The answer to your question is letter B, 2-methylhexane.
Explanation:
Remember that for naming organic compounds first, we need to look for the largest chain of carbons.
In your example, the largest chain is horizontal and has 6 carbons.
Later, we need to circle all the branches, in your example there is only one branch located close to the left side
After that, we number the carbons of the main chain, starting in the corner with more branches, in your example we start from the first carbon on the left.
Finally, start naming the number of the carbon branch, later hte name of the branch and finally the name of the main chain.
Answer:
A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
Explanation:
Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.
Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
