What is the formal charge on the nitrogen in hydroxylamine, h2noh?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Formal Charge on Nitrogen is "Zero".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Formal Charge on an atom in molecules is calculated using following formula;
Formal Charge = [# of Valence e⁻s] - [e⁻s in lone pairs + 1/2 # of Bonding e⁻s]
As shown in attached picture of Hydroxylamine, Nitrogen atom is containing two electrons in one lone pair of electrons and six electrons in three single bonds with two hydrogen and one oxygen atom respectively.
Hence,
Formal Charge = [5] - [2 + 6/2]
Formal Charge = [5] - [2 + 3]
Formal Charge = 5 - 5
Formal Charge = 0 (zero)
Hence, the formal charge on nitrogen atom in hydroxylamine is zero.

Answer:
The mass of Mg consumed is 21.42g
Explanation:
The reaction is
As per balanced equation, three moles of Mg will react with one mole of nitrogen to give one mole of magnesium nitride.
as given that mass of nitrogen reacted = 8.33g
So moles of nitrogen reacted =
moles of Mg required = 3 X moles of nitrogen taken = 3X0.2975 = 0.8925mol
Mass of Mg required = moles X molar mass = 0.8925 X 24 = 21.42 g
