What kind of orbital is occupied by the lone pair electrons in caffeine molecule?

1 answer:

8 0

The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.

A 75 g piece of gold (Au) at 1000 K is dropped into 200 g of H2O at 300K in an insulatedcontainer at 1 bar. Calculate the temper

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

the final temperature is T final = 308 K

Explanation:

since all heat released by gold is absorbed by water

Q gold + Q water = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Assuming first that no evaporation of water occurs , and denoting g as gold and w as water , then

Q gold = m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g)

Q gold = m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w)

where

m= mass

cp = specific heat capacity

T final = final temperature

T initial g and T initial w = initial temperature of gold and water respectively

thus

Q gold + Q water = 0

m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g) + m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w) =0

m g*cp g* T final + m w*cp w* T final = m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w

T final = (m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w)/(m g*cp g+ m w*cp w)

replacing values and assuming cp w = 1 cal/gK = 4.816 J/gK and cp g = 0.129 J/gK (from tables), then

T final = (75 g*0.129 J/gK* 1000 K + 200 g * 4.816 J/gK * 300 K )/(75 g*0.129 J/gK*+ 200 g * 4.816 J/gK ) = 308 K

T final = 308 K

since T boiling water = 373 K and T final = 308 K , we confirm that water does not evaporate

therefore the final temperature is T final = 308 K

How many sigma and pi bonds does it contain ch3chchco2h?

ira [324]

Answer:
But-2-enoic acid has 11 Sigma Bonds and 2 Pi Bonds.

Explanation:
The sigma bonds which are formed due to head to head overlap of partally filled orbitals are shown in red color, while Pi bonds which are formed after the formation of sigma bond by overlap of orbitals perpendicular to the sigma bond are shown in blue color.
