Answer:
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as
cation and nitrate
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.
Thus
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Precipitation occurs when the product of the ion concentration exceeds the Ksp.
Here we have explain that the maximum possible electrons present in nitrogen valence shell is 8 whereas in phosphorous 12 valence electrons are present.
Although both nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) belongs to the same series there are several properties which are different between both the element. The number of electrons present in nitrogen is seven which are present in the -s and -p orbitals. The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s²2s²2p³. In which the outermost electrons are the valence electrons i.e. 5 valence electrons are present. The maximum orbitals are possible under the principal quantum number 2 are -s and -p orbitals. Now the maximum capacity of the p orbital to contain 6 electrons, as it is half filled in nitrogen another 3 electrons can be incorporated. Thus the maximum number of electrons can be present in nitrogen is 10 among which 8 is the valence electrons.
On the other hand there are 15 electrons in phosphorous the electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³. Now the principal quantum number 3 can have three orbitals -s, -p and -d. So another 13 electrons can be incorporated (3 in -p orbital and 10 in -d orbital) among which upto 12 electrons can be its valence electrons.
Answer:
a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas
b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag
c) Molten LiBr = solid Li
c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag
Explanation:
a) Aqueous LiBr
This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.
b) Aqueous AgBr
This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.
c) Molten LiBr
In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.
c) Molten AgBr
The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.
Answer:
Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg
Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg
Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg
Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg
According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,
Pt = P1 + P2 + P3
So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
