Summary on electrochemical cells and redox reactions:
Electrochemical cells (or batteries) can be defined as devices capable of transforming chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous reactions of redox, in which electron transfer occurs.
Redox it is a chemical reaction in which there is the occurrence of oxidation and reduction of atoms of substances (chemical species) present in the process.
<u>Oxidation</u> is the loss of electrons by an atom of a chemical species, while <u>reduction</u> is the gain of electrons by an atom of a chemical species.
Thus, during an oxirreduction reaction, electrons move from the species that loses them towards the species that will receive them. This "movement" results in the formation of an electric current (or electrical energy) as occurs with batteries, for example.
You must use 1880 mL of O₂ to react with 4.03 g Mg.
A_r: 24.305
2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
<em>Moles of Mg</em> = 4.03 g Mg × (1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg) = 0.1658 mol Mg
<em>Moles of O₂</em> = 0.1658 mol Mg × (1 mol O₂/2 mol Mg) = 0.082 90 mol O₂
STP is 25 °C and 1 bar. At STP, 1 mol of an ideal gas has a volume of <em>22.71 L</em>.
<em>Volume of O₂</em> = 0.082 90 mol O₂ × (22.71 L O₂/1 mol O₂) = 1.88 L = 1880 mL
Answer:
- Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
- Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
- Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.
Explanation:
The shape and the bond orientation of molecules and ions are both explained by the valences shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR).
Ammonia, 
, is a molecule which contains three N-H bonds, as well as one lone pair on nitrogen. According to the VSEPR theory, molecules try to acquire a shape which would minimize the repulsion exhibited by the electron clouds present, that is, between the bonding (shared in a bond) and non-bonding (lone pair) electrons.
In VSEPR, our main step is to calculate the steric number, this is the sum of the number of bonds (ignoring the multiplicity of any bond) and the lone pairs on a central atom. In ammonia, we have 3 bonds and 1 lone pair, totaling to a steric number of 4. A steric number of 4 without any lone pairs on a central atom and just bonds would yield a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 
.
Now, in this case, since we have a lone pair instead of a bond, it is repelling stronger decreasing the bond angles to about 
.
The greater the number of lone pairs, the lower the angle becomes.
To summarize:
- Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
- Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
- Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.
Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)
clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x
Hi Sydney!
I can't draw in this question, but there is a picture showing this phase for you to follow when you draw it.
Hope This Helps :)
