Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3NO is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3NO

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electron, nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3NO = 4 + 3(1) + 5 + 6 = 18

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on O}=6-4-\frac{4}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-0-\frac{8}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of CH_3NO is shown below.

The mentioned molecule with formula, CH₃NO where no bond is found between N and O can be depicted as formamide is shown in the attachment below.  

The formal charges = Number of valence electrons for the atom (V) - the number of electrons in lone pairs (N) - 1/2 (number of electrons in bond pairs, B)

FC = V - N - B/2

Thus, there is a need to calculate valence electrons, electrons in lone pairs, and the number of electrons in bond pairs for each atom in the mentioned molecule.  

V or valence electrons on C = 4e, on H = 1e, on N = 5e, and on O = 6e.  

N or electrons in lone pairs on C = 0e, on H = 0e, on N = 2e, and on O = 4e.  

B or number of electrons in bond pairs for C = 8e, for H = 2e, for N = 6e, and for O = 4e.  

Thus, the formal charges for each will be,  

C = 4 - 0 - (8/2) = 0

H = 1 - 0 - (2/2) = 0

N = 5 - 2 - (6/2) = 0

O = 6 - 4 - (4/2) = 0

Lewis dot structure for the given molecule is given in the attachment below:

A gas system has volume, moles and temperature of 9040 mL, 0.447 moles and -35.50 oC, respectively. What is the pressure in atm?
babymother [125]

Answer : The pressure of the gas is, 0.964 atm

Solution : Given,

Volume of gas = 9040 ml = 9.040 L        (1 L = 1000 ml)

Moles of gas = 0.447 moles

Temperature of gas = -35.50^oC=237.5K       (0^oC=273K)

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

T = temperature of the gas

n = number of moles of gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821Latm/moleK

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the pressure of the gas.

P(9.040L)=(0.447moles)\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (237.5K)

By rearranging the terms, we get

P=0.964atm

Therefore, the pressure of the gas is, 0.964 atm

Which best describes a chain reaction associated with a nuclear reaction?!!
REY [17]

Answer: The statement that describes a chain reaction brought about by a nuclear reaction is "neutrons released during a fission reaction cause other nuclei to split." This is applicable to fission reactions only wherein atoms split and produce neutrons that also cause further atoms to split, thus creating a chain or series of reactions.
