Answer:

One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So, remaining two electron are left non-bonded . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.

If 45 mL of water are added to 250 mL of a 0.75 M K2SO4 solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.64M}}$

Explanation:

When you form a diluted solution from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.

The main equation is:

$Molarity=\dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of the solution in liters}}$

Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:

$\text{Molarity mother solution }\times\text{ volume mother solution}=\\\\=\text{Molarity diluted solution }\times\text{ volume diluted solution}$

Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:

$250mL\times 0.75M=(45mL+250mL)\times M\\\\\\M=\dfrac{250mL\times 0.75M}{295mL}=0.64M$

What is the binding energy of a nucleus that has a mass defect of 5.81*10-^29 kg

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Choice A: Approximately $5.23 \times 10^{-29}$ joules.

Explanation:

Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the $\rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}$ kilograms of mass.

$E = m \cdot c^{2}$ ,

where

$E$ stands for energy,
$m$ stands for mass, and
$c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of $c$ ?

The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:

Mass is in kilograms.

Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light, $c \approx \rm 3.00\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Apply the mass-energy equivalence:

$\begin{aligned} E &= m \cdot c^{2} \\ &= \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}\; kg \times {\left(3.00\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\ &\approx \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\;kg\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)

$\rm 1\; J = 1\; N \times 1\; m$ .

However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1\; J &= \rm 1\; N \times 1\; m\\ & = \rm \left(1\; kg\times 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}\right)\times 1\; m\\ &= \rm 1\; kg \cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the mass defect here is also $\rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\; J$ .

Chlorine can bond with fluorine to form CIF. Chlorine can also bond with lithium to form LiCI Which compound will have a greater

Sergio [31]

Answer: $ClF$ will have a greater partial charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a low difference of electronegativities between the atoms, thus resulting in charge difference. Example: $ClF$

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms and thus there is no charge difference. Example: $F_2$

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal. The electronegative difference between the elements is high. The charges on cation and anion neutralise each other. Example: $LiCl$

Thus as $ClF$ will have greater partial charge.

If the mass of a box is 140 g, and the volume is 8 cm3, then the density of the box = ? socratic.org

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

17.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

We can solve this particular problem by keeping in mind the definition of density:

Density = mass / volume

As the problem gives us both the mass and the volume of the box, we can now proceed to calculate the density:

Density = 140 g / 8 cm³

Density = 17.5 g/cm³

The density of the box is 17.5 g/cm³.
