Answer : The correct option is, Only Student B

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.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis dot structure of student A is wrong because there is a coordinate bond present between the nitrogen and hydrogen is not covalent.

Thus, the correct Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown by the student B.

kodGreya [7K]

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, commonly applied to ideal gases, explains that the partial pressures of individual, non-reacting gases are equal to the total pressure exerted by the gas mixture. The given gas mixture composed of 90% argon and 10% carbon dioxide has the following partial pressures: 3.6 atm for argon and 0.4 atm for carbon dioxide (answer).

The pressure of a 609.64 gram sample of F2 in a 88.84 L container is measured to be 2770.96 torr. What is the temperature of thi

Oxana [17]

Answer : The temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K

Explanation :

To calculate the temperature of gas we are using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 2770.96 torr = 3.646 atm

Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = 88.84 L

T = temperature of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of gas = 609.64 g

M = molar mass of $F_2$ gas = 38 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(3.646atm)\times (88.84L)=\frac{609.64g}{38g/mole}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (T)$

$T=245.9K$

Therefore, the temperature of the gas is, 245.9 K

Calculate the maximum concentration (in m) of silver ions (ag+) in a solution that contains 0.025 m of co32-. the ksp of ag2co3

Helen [10]

Equilibrium equation is

Ag2CO3(s) <---> 2 Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) 

From the reaction equation above, the formula for Ksp: 

Ksp = [Ag+]^2 [CO32-] = 8.1 x 10^-12 
You know [CO32-], so you can solve for [Ag+] as: 
(8.1 x 10^-12) = [Ag+]^2 (0.025) 
[Ag+]^2 = 3.24 x 10^-10 
[Ag+] = 1.8 x 10^-5 M
