A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a trigonal pyramidal shape. The electon arrangement of this is called tetrahedral. It involves one atom located at the apex and at the corners are three atoms with a trigonal base. An example would be ammonia or NH3. Nitrogen has five valence electrons so that it needs to three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule and be stable. It would share electrons with the three nitrogen present. In order, to achieve the most stable geometry, the three atoms of hydrogen would attach with a bond angle of 109 degrees.

0.28gram of NH3 on decomposition gave 0.25gram of nitrogen and hydrogen. Find the volume of hydrogen evolved at Ntp. (2gram hydr
hodyreva [135]

The volume of H₂ evolved at NTP=0.336 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

Decomposition of NH₃

2NH₃ ⇒ N₂ + 3H₂

conservation mass : mass reactants=mass product

0.28 NH₃= 0.25 N₂ + 0.03 H₂

2 g H₂ = 22.4 L

so for 0.03 g :

\tt \dfrac{0.03}{2}\times 22.4=0.336

How do you write chemical formulas
sasho [114]

There are things called "Reactants" and "Products" All chemical equations look something like "A + B →C (+ D...)," in which each letter variable is an element or a molecule (a collection of atoms held together by chemical bonds). The arrow represents the reaction or change taking place. Some equations may have a double-headed arrow (↔), which indicates that the reaction can proceed either forward or backward. When a compound has been written out, you must identify the elements and know their chemical symbols. The first element written is “first name” of the compound. Use the periodic table to find the chemical symbol for the element. So here is an example: Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The first element is nitrogen and the chemical symbol for nitrogen is N. To know the numbers of atoms that are present for each element you can just look at the prefix from the element For example: Dinitrogen has a the prefix “di-“ which means 2; therefore, there are 2 atoms of nitrogen present.

Write dinitrogen as N2.

Now for the second element or "last name" of the compound whatever will follow the first element so like; Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The second element is fluorine. Simply replace the “ide” ending with the actual element name. The chemical symbol for fluorine is F.


But the more you practice with, the easier it will be to decipher chemical formulas in the future and learn the language of chemistry.

Sulfur dioxide: SO2

Carbon tetrabromide: CBr4

Diphosphorus pentoxide: P2O5   ← That is one of the examples I'll give you.

have a gooooood daaaaayy
