The answer is (3) 3. The sharing of electrons is important to help elements get 8 electrons in the outer shell to be stable. To achieve this aim, the nitrogen needs to share three pairs of electrons.

The number of pairs of electrons that are shared between nitrogen atoms in a molecule of ${{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}$ is $\boxed{\left( 3 \right){\text{ 3}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Covalent Bond

It is a type of chemical bond where electrons are mutually shared between the bonded atoms. This bond is also known as a molecular bond. The compounds formed as a result of this bonding are covalent compounds.

Octet Rule

It is a thumb rule that describes the tendency of elements to bond with other elements in order to acquire eight valence electrons. As a result, elements tend to achieve stable noble gas configuration.

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and it has an electronic configuration of $1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^3}$ . Nitrogen has five valence electrons in it and is three electrons short of the stable noble gas configuration of neon. So it can share three electrons with another nitrogen atom to complete its octet. As a result, three covalent bonds are formed between two nitrogen atoms. In other words, nitrogen atoms have a triple bond between them in molecule (For structure, refer to the attached image).

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction

GarryVolchara [31]

Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.

Which of the following statements about equilibrium of chemical reactions is correct? See Concept 8.2 (Page 147) View Available

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A reaction that is at equilibrium is not capable of doing any work

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is the state of a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. While a reaction is in equilibrium the concentration of the reactants and products are constant.

Chemical equilibrium, a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs. A reversible chemical reaction is one in which the products, as soon as they are formed, react to produce the original reactants. At equilibrium, the two opposing reactions go on at equal rates, or velocities, hence there is no net change in the amounts of substances involved. At this point the reaction may be considered to be completed; i.e., for some specified reaction condition, the maximum conversion of reactants to products has been attained.

A sample of propane (C3H8) has a mass of 0. 47 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1. 350 kg and a

Nady [450]

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

The specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The specific heat has been expressed as:

$q=mc\Delta T$

<h3 /><h3>Computation for the heat absorbed</h3>

The iron and calorimeter are in side the closed system. Thus, the energy released by the sample, has been equivalent to the energy absorbed by the calorimeter.

$q_{released}=q_{absorbed}\\
q_{released}=m_{calorimeter}\;c_{calorimeter}\;\Delta T$

The given mass of calorimeter has been, $m_{calorimeter}=1350\;\rm g$

The specific heat of the calorimeter has been, $c_{calorimeter}=5.82\;\rm J/g^\circ C$

The change in temperature of the calorimeter has been, $\Delta T=2.87^\circ \rm C$

Substituting the values for heat released:

$q_{released}= 1350\;\text g\;\times\;5.82\;\text J/\text g^\circ \text C\;\times\;2.87^\circ \text C\\
q_{released}=22,549.5\;\text J\\
q_{released}}=22.54\;\rm kJ$

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.
