First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

34kurt

Answer: protons and neutrons.

The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.  

General notation of an element is _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}

where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number

If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.

And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because

Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)

If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene is measured to be . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing of th
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.35 atm

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. But an internet search shows me these values for the question:

" At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure thiophene (C₄H₄S) is measured to be 0.60 atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 137. g of thiophene and 111. g of heptane (C₇H₁₆). Calculate the partial pressure of thiophene vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal."

Keep in mind that if the values in your question are different, your answer will be different too. <em>However the methodology will remain the same.</em>

First we <u>calculate the moles of thiophene and heptane</u>, using their molar mass:

  • 137 g thiophene ÷ 84.14 g/mol = 1.63 moles thiophene
  • 111 g heptane ÷ 100 g/mol = 1.11 moles heptane

Total number of moles = 1.63 + 1.11 = 2.74 moles

The<u> mole fraction of thiophene</u> is:

  • 1.63 / 2.74 = 0.59

Finally, the <u>partial pressure of thiophene vapor is</u>:

Partial pressure = Mole Fraction * Vapor pressure of Pure Thiophene

  • Partial Pressure = 0.59 * 0.60 atm
  • Pp = 0.35 atm
