What is the explanation as to why bonds form

2 answers:

Atoms make bonds to be stable. normally the electronic configuration of valence shell of inert gases are supposed to be stable so to gain that configurations other atoms make bonds by sharing or transferring the electrons.

They want a full outer shell of electrons, so the lose, gain, or share electrons with other elements, forming compounds, until they have 8 valence electrons and become stable.

Why does it seem to us as if rocks remain the same and don't change

qaws [65]

Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time. Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!

Using the principles of VSEPR theory, you can predict the geometry around any atom in any molecule, no matter how complex. Enant

Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule, with two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons like that in water. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp hybridised into two identical bonds and two identical bonds in acetylene.

The steric integer is therefore 2 because only sigma bonds are engaged in deciding hybridization, and its structure is linear.

The C atom is sp2 hybridised in ethene with single pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

Thus the steric integer is 3, and its structure is planar trigonal.

The C atom is sp2 hybridized in ethene, with one pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

The steric integer would therefore be 3 and its structure is planar trigonal.

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp3 in a methane ring, with 4 bond pairs and no solitary pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

First we have to calculate the moles of $NH_3$ and HCl

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}$

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}$

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_3$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_3$

From this we conclude that, $NH_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = $14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K$

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NH_4Cl$

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_4Cl$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_4Cl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NH_4Cl$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl$

Molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ = 53.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g$

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.
