Answer: The given compound is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical name as nitrogen triiodide.

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and iodine atoms. Both these elements are non-metals and thus form covalent compound.

The chemical formula for the given compound is $NI_3$

Hence, the given compound is a covalent compound.

Nitrogen triiodide is the inorganic compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation. NI3 has a complex structural chemistry that is difficult to study because of the instability of the derivatives.

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid that partially dissociates in water. Given the reaction CH3COOH(aq) ↔ CH3COO−(aq) + H+(aq)

likoan [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

The dissociation equilibrium for acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is the following:

CH₃COOH(aq) ↔ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) Kc = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

The expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) is the ratio of concentrations of products over reactants. The products are acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and hydrogen ion (H⁺) while the reactant is acetic acid (CH₃COOH):

$Kc=\frac{[CH_{3} COO^{-} ][H^{+} ]}{[CH_{3} COOH]}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}$

Given: [CH₃COOH]= 0.016 M and [CH₃COO⁻]= 0.92 M, we replace the concentrations in the equilibrium expression and we calculate [H⁺]:

$\frac{(0.016 M)[H^{+} ]}{(0.92M)}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}$

⇒[H⁺]= (1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.92 M)/(0.016 M)= 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3:
Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases.

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.
