Answer:
One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.
Explanation:
We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:
- calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
- assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
- assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
- assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
- the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
- calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
- nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.
Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.
By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.
Answer:
second order
Explanation:
units of reaction and their order.
Zero order --> M^1 s^-1 = M/s
First order --> M^0 s^-1 = 1/s
Second order --> M^-1 s^-1 = L/mol s
In the question rate constant k = 4.65 L mol-1s-1. = 4.65 L/mol s
Hence, the reaction is a second order reaction
1. The calculated density of the sample is 12.6 g/cm³
2. The sample is silver (option B)
<h3>Definition of density </h3>
The density of an object is defined as the mass of the object per unit volume of the object. Mathematically is expressed as:
Density = mass / volume
<h3>1. How to determine the density </h3>
- Mass = 15.12 g
- Volume = 1.20 cm³
- Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 15.12 / 1.20
Density = 12.6 g/cm³
<h3>2. How to determine the sample </h3>
- Density of copper = 8.95 g/cm³
- Density of silver = 12.59 g/cm³
- Density of gold = 19.32 g/cm³
- Calculate density = 12.6 g/cm³
- Sample =?
From the above we can see that the calculated density is the approximate density of silver.
Therefore, the sample is silver
