What is the oxidation state of an individual nitrogen atom in nh4oh ? express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1)?

1 answer:

6 0

In NH4OH, the compounds that make it up are NH4+ and OH-
Therefore N exists in the ammonium form.
In the ammonium ion 4H atoms are connected to N.
N is more electronegative than H, therefore when H bonds to N, H is the more positive atom therefore each H has a charge of +1, since there are 4 H atoms the charge contributed by the 4H atoms are +1 * 4 = +4
the overall charge of NH4 is +1
Charge of N (+) +4 = +1
Charge of N = +1 - 4
Therefore oxidation state of N in NH4 is = -3

Calculate the electric double layer thickness of a alumina colloid in a dilute (0.1 mol/dm3) CsCI electrolyte solution at 30 °C.

Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Concentration = 0.1 $mol/dm^{3}$

= 0.1 \frac{mol dm^{3}}{dm^{3}} \frac{10^{3}}{dm^{3}} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1 mol} ions

= $6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}$

T = $30^{o}C$ = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

Formula for electric double layer thickness ( $\lambda_{D}$ ) is as follows.

$\lambda_{D}$ = $\frac{1}{k} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}$

where, $n^{o}$ = concentration = $6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}$

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

$\lambda_{D}$ = $\sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}$

= $\sqrt \frac{78 \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12} c^{2}/Jm \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K \times 303 K}{2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3} \times (1)^{2} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}$

= $9.669 \times 10^{-10}$ m

or, = $9.7 A^{o}$

= 1 nm (approx)

Also, it is known that $\lambda_{D}$ = $\sqrt \frac{1}{n^{o}}$

Hence, we can conclude that addition of 0.1 $mol/dm^{3}$ of KCl in 0.1 $mol/dm^{3}$ of NaBr " $\lambda_{D}$ " will decrease but not significantly.

Using the development of the atomic model.explain how scientists refine and build off each other’s findings, in order to develop

sineoko [7]

<span>The Atomic Model was something that was first developed by Neils Bohr. Several years later, Schrodinger took Bohr's basis of a theory and developed it into something larger. So as we can see, theories are a bit like puzzles. When first starting out, one person develops something, or has an idea on something. Others trying to either prove or disprove the original findings, will then test things in a new way, revealing more and more of the puzzle. As the puzzle becomes more and more clear, there is more and more that is revealed. Eventually, we get to a point where we have almost the entire picture, however we are still missing a few key pieces that complete the puzzle. We can see the big picture, but you can not exactly prove out what exactly the details are. This is how scientists such as Bohr and Schrodinger use each others research to build and refine theories. Eventually, we reach a point where we are only missing maybe one or two pieces, and at that point, a theory transitions into almost fact, such as evolution.</span>

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{2.20 g Pb}}$

Explanation:

They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 239.27 32.00 207.2

2PbS + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Pb + 2SO₃

m/g: 2.54 1.88

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{Moles of PbS} = \text{2.54 g PbS } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol PbS}}{\text{239.27 g PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS}\\\\\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.88 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2}$

3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant

$\textbf{From PbS:}\\\text{Moles of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{2 mol PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb}\\\\\textbf{From O}_{2}:\\\text{Moles of Pb} =\text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{3 mol O}_{2}}= \text{0.039 17 mol Pb}\\\\\text{PbS is the $\textbf{limiting reactant}$ because it gives fewer moles of Pb}$

4. Calculate the mass of Pb

$\text{ Mass of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb} \times \dfrac{\text{207.2 g Pb}}{\text{1 mol Pb}} = \textbf{2.20 g Pb}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.20 g Pb}}$}$
