Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = $1.29g/L$

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

$1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}$

$mass=0.5grams$

$mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb$ (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Serggg [28]

$NH_3+HNO_3-> NH_4NO_3$

1 mole of nitric acid produce 1 mole of ammonium nitrate.

moles in 5000 kg of ammonium nitrate :

$n=\dfrac{5000\times 1000}{80}\\\\n=62500\ moles$ ( molecular mass of ammonium nitrate is 80 gm/mol )

So, number of moles of nitric acid required are also 62500 moles.

Mass of 62500 moles of nitric acid :

$mass = 62500\times 63 \\\\mass = 3937500\ gram\\\\mass = 393.75\ kg$

Hence, this is the required solution.

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
