The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.

The explanation :

when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy

and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.

∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.

Why is NaHCO3 a base?

worty [1.4K]

NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.

HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.

<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>

When NH3(g) reacts with N2O(g) to form N2(g) and H2O(g), 105 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of NH3(g) that reacts. Wri

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal$

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of individual elements present on product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

$NH_3(g)+N_2O(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+H_2O(g)+105kcal$

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of individual elements are not balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the $NH_3$ , the coefficient 3 is put before the $N_2O\text{ and }H_2O$ and the coefficient 4 is put before the $N_2$ .
