Answer: The structure for the boron nitride molecule will be linear.

Explanation: When boron and nitrogen combine together to form a compound, the boron element will loose 3 electrons which will be easily accepted by the nitrogen element.

Boron : Atomic number is 5

Electronic configuration: $1s^22s^22p^1$

To attain stable configuration, boron will loose 3 electrons easily.

Nitrogen : Atomic number is 7

Electronic configuration: $is^22s^22p^3$

To attain stable configuration. nitrogen will gain 3 electrons easily.

Hence, to form a molecule with these two elements, there will be 3 bonds present in between them and 1 pair of lone pair will be left on the nitrogen atom.

Structure of boron nitride ( which is linear) is attached in the image below.

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate ΔH∘rxn for the following reaction______.2H2S(g)+3O2(g)→2H2O(l)+2SO2(g) ΔH∘rxn

Ahat [919]

Answer:

-1,103.39KJ/mol

Explanation:

We use the subtract the standard enthalphies of formation of the reactants from that of the products. It must be taken into consideration that the enthalpy of formation of elements and their molecules alone are not taken into consideration. Hence, what we would be considering are the standard enthalpies of formation of H2S, H2O and SO2.

In places where we have more than one mole, we multiply by the number of moles as seen in the balanced chemical equations.

The standard enthalpies of the molecules above are as follows:

H2S = -20.63KJ/mol

H2O = -285.8KJ/mol

SO2 = -296.84KJ/mol

O2 = 0KJ/mol

ΔrH⦵ = [2ΔfH⦵(H2O) + 2 ΔfH⦵(SO2)] − [ΔfH⦵(H2S) + 3

 ΔfH⦵(O2)]

ΔrH⦵ =[(2 × -285.8) + (2 × -296.84)]

-[ 3 × -20.63)]

= (-571.6 - 593.68 + 61.89) = -1,103.39KJ/mol

If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how ma

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:-

29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2 will be formed.

4.756 grams of AgNO3 will be left over when the reaction is complete.

Explanation:-

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.546 g mol -1

Molecular weight of AgNO3 = 107.87 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3

= 169.87 g mol-1

Number of moles of Copper = 9.85 gram / (63.546 g mol-1)

= 0.155 mol

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 31 gram / ( 169.87 g mol-1)

= 0.183 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Cu + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

According to the equation,

1 mole of Cu reacts with 1 mole of AgNO3.

∴0.155 mol of Cu react with 0.155 mol of AgNO3.

Number of moles of AgNO3 left over = 0.183-0.155=0.028 mol

Number of grams of AgNO3 left over = 0.028 mol x 169.87 grams mol-1

= 4.756 gram

Molecular weight of Cu(NO3)2 = 63.546 x 1 + (14 x 1 +16 x 3 ) x 2

=187.546 gram

Now from the balanced chemical equation,

1 Cu gives 1 Cu(NO3)2

∴ 63.546 g of Cu gives 187.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

9.85 grams pf Cu gives 187.546 x 9.85 / 64.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

= 29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2

A student balanced the chemical equation Mg + O2 →MgO by writing Mg + O2 → MgO2. Was the equation balanced correctly? Explain yo

Amanda [17]

Explanation:

Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.

As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not $MgO_{2}$ .

The student write the equation as $Mg + O_2 \rightarrow MgO_2$ , it is not correct.

Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

$2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO$

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.
