Is the interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation a lewis acid-base interaction?

Chemistry

Answer: Yes interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation is a lewis acid-base interaction

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As metal cation is short of electrons to complete its octet, thus it can easily accept an electron pair from ammonia which can easily donate its lone pair of electron and thus acts as lewis base.

M^{n+}+NH_3\rightarrow M(NH_3)_n

Thus interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation is a lewis acid-base interaction

Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 338kJ=338000J    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}    

{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm     (1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm

A sample of 42 mL of carbon dioxide gas was placed in a piston in order to maintain a constant 101 kPa of pressure.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 33.4 ml

Explanation:

Data

volume 1 = V1 = 42 ml

temperature 1 = T1 = 20°C

temperature 2 = T2 = -60°C

Volume 2 = V2 = x

Process

1.- Convert celsius to kelvin

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293°K

T2 = -60 + 273 = 233°K

2.- Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

               \frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Solve for V2

                V2 = \frac{V1T2}{T1}

3.- Substitution

               V2 = \frac{(42)(233)}{293}

4.- Simplification

                V2 = \frac{9786}{293}

5.- Result

                V2 = 33.4ml

raketka [301]

The pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.

<h3>What is Boyle's law?</h3>

Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

By implication, when the piston is lowered and the volume of the gas is decreased, the pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.
