What is the molecular geometry of the left carbon atom (circled) in acetic acid? The left carbon atom is attached to three hydro

gen atoms and one carbon atom through single bonds. The right carbon atom is attached to a carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond.

Answer:  Tetrahedral geometry

Explanation: The structure of the acetic acid is shown in the image below.

The left carbon atom is the one which is attached to three hydrogen atoms through single bonds and to one carbon atom through single bond as well.

Thus the orbitals which are used in the process of the formation of the chemical bond between these 4 are sp3 orbitals. And these orbitals results in the formation of the tetrahedral geometry.

The right carbon atom that is attached to a  carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond has trigonal planar geometry which involves the sp2 orbitals for the formation of the bond.

What mass of ni has as many atoms as there are n atoms in 63.0 g of no2?
adoni [48]

Answer : The mass of Ni is, 80.346 g

Solution :

First we have to calculate the number of moles.

\text{Moles of }NO_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }NO_2}{\text{Molar mass of }NO_2}=\frac{63g}{46g/mole}=1.369moles

Now we have to calculate the number of atoms of NO_2

As 1 moles NO_2 contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules

So, 1.369 moles NO_2 contains 1.369\times 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules

One NO_2 molecule has one nitrogen atom then 1.369\times 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules of NO_2 will contain 1.369\times 6.022\times 10^{23} number of nitrogen atoms

As per question number of Ni atoms is equal to the number of nitrogen atoms

Number of Ni atoms=1.369\times 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms

Number of moles = \frac{1.369\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=1.369moles

Mass of Nickel = Moles\times \text{Molecular mass}}

Molecular mass of Nickel = 58.69 g/mol

Mass of nickel = 1.369mol\times 58.69g/mol=80.346grams

Given that:2NO (g)→N2 (g)+O2 (g)N2 (g)+O2 (g)+Cl2 (g)→2NOCl (g) has an enthalpy change of −180.6 kJ has an enthalpy change of 10
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question knowing Hess's law that says you can sum half-reactions enthalpy cahnge to obtain enthalpy change of the total reaction. Using the reactions:

<em>(1) </em>2NO(g) → N₂(g)+O₂(g) ΔH = -180,6 kJ

<em>(2) </em>N₂(g) + O₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2NOCl(g) ΔH = +103,4 kJ

The reverse reactions of (1) and (2) are:

<u>N₂(g)+O₂(g)</u> → 2NO(g) ΔH = +180,6 kJ

2NOCl(g) → <u>N₂(g) + O₂(g)</u> + Cl₂(g) ΔH = -103,4 kJ

The sum of these reactions is:

2NOCl(g) → 2NO(g) + Cl₂(g) ΔH = +180,6 kJ -103,4 kJ = <em>77,2 kJ</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!
