Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.

If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.

Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).

<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>

What is he empirical formula for the compound that is of 1.85 moles of nitrogen and 4.63 miles of oxygen
BartSMP [9]

The empirical formula is N₂O₅.

The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.  

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.  

I like to summarize the calculations in a table.  

<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u>  <u>Ratio¹ </u>  <u> ×2²  </u>  <u>Integers</u>³

     N        1.85    1             2             2

     O        4.63    2.503   5.005     5

¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).

²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.

³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).

The empirical formula is N₂O₅.

If 5.85 grams of cobalt metal react with 15.8 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal can be formed and how many
vladimir2022 [97]
Answers:
<span>Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.</span>
Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Work:

1) Unbalanced chemical equation (given):

<span>Co + AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + Ag

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span>
<span>Co + 2AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + 2Ag

3) mole ratios

1 mol Co : 2 mole AgNO3 : 1 mol Co(NO3)2 : 2 mol Ag

4) Convert the masses in grams of the reactants into number of moles

4.1) 5.85 grams of Co

# moles = mass in grams / atomic mass

atomic mass of Co = 58.933 g/mol

# moles Co = 5.85 g / 58.933 g/mol = 0.0993 mol

4.2) 15.8 grams of Ag(NO3)

# moles Ag(NO3) = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol

# moles Ag(NO3) = 15.8 g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.0930 mol

5) Limiting reactant

Given the mole ratio 1 mol Co : 2 mol Ag(NO3) you can conclude that there is not enough Ag(NO3) to make all the Co react.

That means that Ag(NO3) is the limiting reactant, which means that it will be consumed completely, whilce Co is the excess reactant.

6) Product formed.

Use this proportion:

2 mol Ag(NO3)           0.0930mol Ag(NO3)    
--------------------- =      ---------------------------
    2 mol Ag                              x

=> x = 0.0930 mol

Convert 0.0930 mol Ag to grams:

mass Ag = # moles * atomic mass = 0.0930 mol * 107.868 g/mol = 10.03 g

Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.

6) Excess reactant left over

    1 mol Co                             x
----------------------- =  ----------------------------
2 mole Ag(NO3)       0.0930 mol Ag(NO3)

=> x = 0.0930 / 2 mol Co = 0.0465 mol Co reacted

Excess = 0.0993 mol - 0.0465 mol = 0.0528 mol

Convert to grams:

0.0528 mol * 58.933 g/mol = 3.11 g

Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Calculate the oxidation numbers of the elements in this equation<br> 2 Al2O3 → 4 Al + 3 O2
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Explanation:

Answer

Open in answr app

The rule used here is that the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms a molecule is zero.

Al2O32× ( oxidation number of Al)+3× ( Oxidation number of O )  = 0

2× ( Oxidation number of Al) +3(−2)=0

2× ( oxidation number of Al) +6

∴ Oxidation number of Al =+3
