Answer:

Both the C and the N can participate in reactions

Explanation:

The word ambident comes from two Latin words that mean "both teeth".

An ambident group can react at two different sites to form products.

For example, the cyano group has two major resonance structures (see below).

The hybrid has two different ends, each with a lone pair and a partial negative charge.

Thus, it can react to form CH₃CN by having the C attack, or CH₃NC by having the N attack.

Find the mass of 0.235 moles of SiO2? (NOTE: use correct significant figures!)

marta [7]

Answer: 14.1g

Explanation:

Given that,

number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles

Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Molar mass of SiO2 = ?

To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass

Silicon = 28g;

Oxygen = 16g

i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)

= 28g + 32g

= 60g/mol

Now, apply the formula

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol

Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol

Z = 14.1 g

Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc , for the equilibrium shown below, if 0.124 moles of NO, 0.0240 mole of H2,

sdas [7]

the reaction is

2NO(g) + 2H2(g) <—> N2(g) + 2H2O (g)

Kc = [N2] [ H2O]^2 / [NO]^2 [ H2]^2

Given

moles of NO = 0.124 therefore [NO] = moles /volume = 0.124 /2 = 0.062

moles of H2 = 0.0240 , therefore [H2] = moles / volume = 0.0240 / 2 = 0.012

moles of N2 = 0.0380 , therefore [N2] = moles / volume = 0.0380 / 2 = 0.019

moles of H2O = 0.0276 , therefore [H2O] = moles / volume = 0.0276 / 2 = 0.0138

Kc = (0.019) ( 0.0138)^2 / (0.062)^2 ( 0.012)^2 = 6.54
