In the correct lewis structure for the nitrate ion, no3 –­, nitrogen has how many covalent bonds?

Chemistry

Colt1911 [192]2 years ago
8 0

Answer :  The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below and the nitrogen has 4 covalent bonds.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.  The number of valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, nitrate ion

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NO_3^- = 5 + 3(6) + 1 = 24 electrons

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below.

An ideal gas contained in a piston which is compressed. The gas is insulated so that no heat flows into or out of it. 1) What ha
Goryan [66]

Answer:Temperature increases

Explanation: As the gas in the container is an ideal gas so it should follow the ideal gas equation, the equation of state.

We know ideal gas equation to be PV=nRT where

   P=pressure

   V=Volume

   T=Temperature

   R=Real gas constant

   n=Number of moles

since the gas is insulated such that no heat goes into or out of the system .

When we compress the ideal gas using a piston, Thermodynamically it means that work is done on the system by the surroundings.

Now as the ideal gas is been compressed so the volume of the gas would decrease and slowly a time will reach when no more gas can be compressed that is there cannot be any further decrease in volume of the gas.

From the equation PV=nRT

Once there is no further compression is possible hence volume becomes constant so pressure of the ideal gas becomes directly proportional to the temperature as n and R are constants. Also as the pressure and volume are inversely related so an decrease in volume would lead to an increase in pressure.

As the ideal  gas is compressed so the pressure of the gas would increase since the gas molecules have smaller volume available after compression hence the gas molecules would quite frequently have collisions with other gas molecules or piston and this collision would lead to increase in speed of the gas molecules and  so the pressure would increase .

The increase in pressure would lead to an increase in temperature as show by the above ideal gas equation because the pressure and temperature are directly related.

So here we can say that work done on the system by surroundings leads to increase in temperature of the system.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Doping with galium or indium will yield a p-type semiconductor while doping with arsenic, antimony or phosphorus will yield an n-type semiconductor.

Explanation:

Doping refers to improving the conductivity of a semiconductor by addition of impurities. A trivalent impurity leads to p-type semiconductor while a pentavalent impurity leads to an n-type semiconductor.

Complete the following sentence: The cathode in a voltaic cell is the electrode _____________.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

to which cations from the salt bridge migrate

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It's composed of a cathode, an anode, and a salt bridge.

In cathode, the substance is gaining electrons, so it's reducing, in the anode, the substance is losing electrons, so it's oxidating. The flow of electrons is from the anode to the cathode.

The salt bridge is a bond between the cathode and the anode. When the redox reaction takes place, the substances produce its ions, so the solution is no more neutral. The salt bridge allows the solutions to become neutral and the redox reaction continues.

So, the cathode produces anions, which goes to the anode, and the anode produces cations, which goes to the cathode. Then, the cathode n a voltaic cell is the electrode to which cations from salt bridge migrate and where the reduction takes place.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of .158 kg if 2,510 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32°C to 61°C wh
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: 0.548J/g°C

Explanation:

Q = s × m × DeltaT

Q = Heat (J)

S = Specific Heat Capacity

M = mass (g)

DeltaT = Change in temperature (°C)

0.158Kg x 1000 = 158g

2.510J = s x 158g x (61°C-32°C)

2.510J/(158g x 29°C) = s

S = 0.54779.... J/g°C

S = 0.548 J/g°C
