Answer:
44 g
Explanation:
The formula for the number of moles (n) is equal to .
Since we need to find the mass, we derive it from the formula of the number of moles and we get that mass = n x molecular weight .
The molecular weight of = 12 g/mol (from the carbon) + 19x4 g/mol (from the 4 fluorine atoms)= 88 g/mol
We plug in the numbers in the derived formula for the mass and we get :
mass = n x molecular weight = 0.5 mol x 88 g/mol = 44 g
The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),
So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.
Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .
