Answer:
C₃H₉N
Explanation:
The empirical formula of a compound is the fundamental and basic possible formula that shows the mole ratio of the atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.
mole ratio of carbon = 60.94/12 = 5.078
mole ratio of hydrogen = 15.36/1 = 15.36
mole ratio of nitrogen = 23.70/14 = 1.693
Now; we will divide by the smallest value
So; carbon = 5.078/1.693 = 2.99 ≅ 3.0
hydrogen = 15.36/1.693 = 9.07 ≅ 9.0
nitrogen = 1.693/1.693 = 1 ≅ 1
Thus, the empirical formula is = C₃H₉N
Amines are derivatives of
Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;
Primary Amines: In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.
Secondary Amines: In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.
Tertiary Amines: In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.
Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula
C₅H₁₃N.
The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed.
What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?
Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate
has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double
replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.
The chemical equation representing the reaction is,
Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 +
BaPO4
<span>The cell must exchange materials with the environment across the surface membrane. An increase in size will result in a relatively greater increase in volume and mass than in surface area, so that the cell will lose effective exchange capacity.
