Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.
Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.
Answer:
Mean Partial pressure of Nitrogen in Mars' atmosphere = 15.86 Pa
Explanation:
According to Dalton's law of Partial Pressure, the total pressure exerted by a mixture of ideal gases (that do not react together) is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases that make up the mixture. It goes further to explain that the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases is equal to its mole fraction of that gas multipled by the total pressure exerted by the mixture of gases.
Total Pressure exerted by the mixture of gases in the atmosphere on Mars = Mean atmospheric pressure on Mars = 610 Pa
Partial pressure of Nitrogen = (mole fraction or mole percentage of Nitrogen in the atmosphere) × (total pressure exerted by all the gases in the atmosphere)
Mole percentage of Nitrogen in the atmosphere of Mars = 2.6%
Partial pressure of Nitrogen = 2.6% × 610 = 15.86 Pa
Mean Partial pressure of Nitrogen in Mars' atmosphere = 15.86 Pa
Hope this Helps!!!
