How many valance are transferred from the nitrogen atom to potassium in the formation of the compound potassium nitride?

2 answers:

5 0

3 valence electrons are transferred in the formation of the compound potassium nitride because nitrogen needs 3 valence electron to become stable, or to have the electron configuration of noble Gases.

Nitrogen requires 3 electrons to have a total of 8 valence electrons.Each potassium atom will transfer one electron.A total of 3 potassium atoms and one nitrogen atom will be involved in the formation of a formula unit of potassium nitride.

If 2 molecules of one reactant combine with 3 molecules of another to produce 5 molecules of a product, then what is the represe

zhenek [66]

Answer:- $2A+3B\rightarrow 5C$

Explanations:- Let's say the first molecule is A and the second molecule is B and the product molecule is C.

From given information, 2 molecules of A react with 3 molecules of B to produce 5 molecules of C.

We write the reactants on left side and the product on right side and there is an arrow between them from reactants towards the products.

So, the reaction could be represented as:

$2A+3B\rightarrow 5C$

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6

Ammonia NH3 may react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water.4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) \rightarrow 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)If 2.15g of

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

NH3 is the limiting reactant

The % yield is 36.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.15 grams

Mass of O2 = 3.23 grams

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

volume of N2 produced = 0.550 L

Temperature = 295 K

Pressure = 1.00 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation:

4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) → 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

Step 3: Calculate moles of NH3

Moles NH3 = Mass NH3 / Molar Mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.15 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.126 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = 3.23 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.101 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.126 moles).

O2 is in excess, there will be 3/4 * 0.126 = 0.0945 moles consumed

There will remain 0.101 - 0.945 = 0.0065 moles of O2

Step 6: Calculate moles of N2

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

For 4 moles NH3 , we'll have 2 moles of N2 produced

For 0.126 moles NH3 consumed, we'll have 0.063 moles of N2 produced.

Step 7: Calculate volume of N2 produced

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n = the number of moles N2 = 0.063 moles

⇒ with R = the gasconstant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 295

V = (nRT)/p

V = (0.063*0.08206*295)/1

V = 1.525 L = theoretical yield

Step 8: Calculate the % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (0.550 L / 1.525 L)*100%

% yield = 36.1 %
