Answer:
25.35%
Explanation:
Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;
H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles
If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-
8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2
= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-
Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol
= 0.03 g
Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100
= 25.35%
For example we are going to use this unbalanced chemical reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
First, calculate number of atoms (hydrogens and oxygens) on left and right. There is two oxygen and two hydrogen on left and two hydrogen and one oxygen on right.
You can not change molecular formula of compound, only you can put coefficient in fron of compound to balance reaction.
Put 2 in front water to balance oxygen (now you have two oxygens on left and right). But now you have four hydrogens on right, so you must put 2 in fron hydrogen on the left.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
The question is already answered.
It is an example of how the boys environment affected him, making him an outlier to what should typically happen. Hope this helps!
