Answer: Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation: Ammonia molecule is planar molecule in which 3 hydrogen atoms are attached to the nitrogen atom leaving a pair of lone pair of electrons on the latter.

As we know that the hydrogen bonding is the result of the electrostatic forces of attraction between the hydrogen atom attached with the electronegative atom of one compound with the electronegative atom of the other.

Thus the strongest type of van der waal forces of attraction which can occur in molecules of ammonia is Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding

Consider a mixture of two gases, A and B, confined in a closed vessel. A quantity of a third gas, C, is added to the same vessel

n200080 [17]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Consider a mixture of two gases, A and B, confined in a closed vessel. A quantity of a third gas, C, is added to the same vessel at the same temperature. How does the addition of gas C affect the following. The mole fraction of gas B?

A mixture of gases contains 10.25 g of N₂, 2.05 g of H₂, and 7.63 g of NH₃.

Answer: The mole fraction of gas B (hydrogen gas) is 0.557

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For nitrogen gas:

Given mass of nitrogen gas = 10.25 g

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{10.25g}{28g/mol}=0.366mol$

For hydrogen gas:

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 2.05 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{2.05g}{2g/mol}=1.025mol$

For ammonia gas:

Given mass of ammonia gas = 7.63 g

Molar mass of ammonia gas = 17 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonia gas}=\frac{7.63g}{17g/mol}=0.449mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B+n_C}$

Moles of gas B (hydrogen gas) = 1.025 moles

Total moles = [0.366 + 1.025 + 0.449] = 1.84 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{(H_2)}=\frac{1.025}{1.84}=0.557$

Hence, the mole fraction of gas B (hydrogen gas) is 0.557

How many hydrogen grams can be obtained if

kipiarov [429]

hi im breanna

Answer:

The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,

6.022

, that has a special property. If I have

6.022

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have

6.022

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have

6.022

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of

, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of

are required to react with the

, which I could measure by mass or by volume.

Which is easier to remove: a valence electron from, Li or Na? Explain why.

scZoUnD [109]

The atomic number of Li is 3

Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹

The atomic number of Na is 11

Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.

A sample of TNT, C7H5N3O6 , has 8.94 × 1021 nitrogen atoms. How many hydrogen atoms are there in this sample of TNT?

Bess [88]

Answer:

1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample

Explanation:

TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆

1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O

Let's determine the mass of TNT.

Molar mass is = 227 g/mol

As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.

8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles

So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT

3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound

0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g

Now we can work with the hydrogen.

227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H

1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles

Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:

0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms

Why there are only seven crystal systems??? why not other number

Anastasy [175]

In crystallography, the terms crystal system, crystal family, and lattice system each refer to one ... In total there are seven crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, ..... A polar crystal possess a "unique" axis (found in no other directions) such ... lattices in three dimensions; each can apply in one lattice system only.
