Answer : The shape of the nitrite ion will be, bent.

Explanation :  

Formula used :

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

First we have to determine the hybridization of the nitrite ion, NO_2^- molecule.

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [5+1]=3

The number of electrons are 3 that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

But as there are two atoms around the central nitrogen, the third position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent.

Hence, the shape of the nitrite ion will be, bent.

22. Which statement best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

B. They oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.

Explanation:

A catalytic converter can be defined as an anti-pollution device containing a catalyst like platinum-iridium, installed in the exhaust chamber of an automobile so as to chemically convert harmful (poisonous) pollutants such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen oxide (NO) etc., into less harmful, poisonous or toxic chemical compounds.

This ultimately implies that, catalytic converters are typically used for converting harmful gases into less harmful, poisonous or toxic gases and molecules e.g carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H2O). This helps to prevent global warming, enhance the conservation of natural resources, as well as preserve the lives of living organisms and their natural habitat.

<em>Hence, the statement which best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is that they oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.</em>

Determine the molar mass of a 0.458-gram sample of gas having a volume of 1.20 l at 287 k and 0.980 atm. group of answer choices
lilavasa [31]

Considering the ideal gas law and the definition of molar mass, the molar mass of the sample of gas is 9.17 \frac{g}{mol}.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

  • P is the gas pressure.
  • V is the volume that occupies.
  • T is its temperature.
  • R is the ideal gas constant. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
  • n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Molar mass of the sample of gas</h3>

In this case you know:

  • P= 0.980 arm
  • V= 1.20 L
  • T= 287 K
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • n= ?

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.980 atm× 1.20 L= n× 0.082\frac{atmL}{molK}× 287 K

Solving:

(0.980 atm× 1.20 L)÷ (0.082\frac{atmL}{molK}× 287 K)= n

<u><em>0.04997 moles= n</em></u>

On the other hand, you know that the<u><em> mass of the sample of gas</em></u> is <u><em>0.458 grams</em></u>. Replacing in the definition of molar mass:

molar mass=\frac{0.458 grams}{0.04997 moles}

Solving:

<u><em>molar mass= 9.17 </em></u>\frac{g}{mol}

Finally, the molar mass of the sample of gas is 9.17 \frac{g}{mol}.
