What is the electronic configuration of chromium atom (Z = 24)? Give a reason for your answer.
The resulting solution will be alkaline because KCN is a salt of a strong base and weak acid. It undergoes anionic hydrolysis when dissolved in water.
HCN is weak acid because it gives less H+ ions in te solution while KOH is strong electrolyte and remains completely dissociated.
i) State the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the entropy of the universe.
(ii) Calculate the maximum work that can be obtained from the given electrochemical cell constructed with two metals M and N.
The cell reaction is M + N+2 → M+2 + N
To precipitate group III cations NH4Cl should be added to the solution before the addition of ammonium hydroxide. Explain why.
