Answer:

One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.

Explanation:

We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:

  • calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
  • assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
  • assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
  • assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
  • the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
  • calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
  • nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.

Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.

By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.

A bottle has a capacity of 1.2 liters. If the density of ether is 0.74 g/mL, what mass of ether can the bottle hold?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance. We calculate as follows:

Volume = 60.0 g ( 1 mL / 0.70 g ) = 85.71 mL

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Which of the following is consistent with a spontaneous process in the forward direction?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

A) ∆Suniv >0, ∆G<0, T∆Suniv >0.

Explanation:

The connection between entropy and the spontaneity of a reaction is expressed by the <u>second law of thermodynamics</u><u>: The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process</u>.

Mathematically, we can express the second law of thermodynamics as follows:

For a spontaneous process: ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsurr > 0

Therefore, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that a spontaneous reaction increases the entropy of the universe; that is, ΔSuniv > 0.

If we want spontaneity expressed only in terms  of the properties of the system (ΔHsys and ΔSsys), we use the following equation:

-TΔSuniv = ΔHsys - TΔSsys < 0

That means that T∆Suniv >0.

This equation says that for a process carried out at constant pressure and temperature  T, if the changes in enthalpy and entropy of the system are such that <u>ΔHsys - TΔSsys  is less than zero, the process must be spontaneous.</u>

Finally, if the change in free energy is less than zero (ΔG<0), the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

What is the entropy change of the system when 17.5 g of liquid benzene (c6h6) evaporates at the normal boiling point? the normal
Vika [28.1K]
<span>1 mole of benzene (78g) requires 30.8 kJ/ of heat, so 11.5g will need ..... (it's a proportion calculation.) Temperature does not change at BPt and is not relevant if the temp of the liquid is already at the BPt ne definition of entropy is qrev/T, where qrev is the heat added in reversible operation (for complicated reasons pertaining to heat as a path function) and T is the temperature at which this is done. Phase changes are particularly good examples for calculations of changes in entropy, since temperature will not change will the bonds of a state are being broken. The calculations required boils down to: 1) finding the moles of benzene given from molar mass. 2) multiplying that moles by the heat of vaporization. 3)diving the heat energy required by the temperature of boiling point.</span>

How many paired and unpaired electrons are in magnesium?
pychu [463]

Answer:

Paired = 12

Unpaired = 0

Explanation:

Magnesium is alkaline earth metal.

It is present in second group.

Its atomic number is 12 and atomic mass 24 amu.

Electronic configuration:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

It can seen from electronic configuration that all electrons are paired because s subshell have one orbital and it can accomodate two electrons. Each s subshells in magnesium have two electrons so these are filled and have paired electrons. While p subshell have three orbitals and can accomodate six electrons two by each orbital with opposite spin thus 2p is also filled and have paired electrons.

An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The mass of object is 0.5 Kg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Acceleration of object = 12.0 m/s²

Force on object = 6.0 N

Mass of object = ?

Solution:

Formula:

F = m×a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

6.0 N = m  × 12.0 m/s²

m =  6.0 N / 12.0 m/s²  

   ( N = kg.m/s²)

m = 0.5 kg

The mass of object is 0.5 Kg.
