Nitrogen gas effuses through an opening 1.59 times faster than an unknown gas.

1 answer:

5 0

A) Nitrogen has an ATOMIC mass number of 14, but nitrogen gas consists of N₂ molecules, so the mass to use in this problem is 28 g/mol. Rates of effusion ∝ 1/√(mass), so

√(mass unknown) /√28 = (rate N₂ effusion)/(rate unknown effusion) = 1.59 
∴ mass unknown = (1.59)²(28) = 70.78 g/mol 

B) One possible gas that comes close for this mass is NF₃.

Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃ = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Mass of N₂ formed = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16 = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = $\frac{18.1}{143.2}$ = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃ = $\frac{90.4}{17}$ = 5.32moles

From this reaction;

1 mole of Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So 0.13moles of Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

= 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

1 mole of Cu₂O will produce 1 mole of N₂

0.13 mole of Cu₂O will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

Mass = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is

WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

$sp^{3}$ , four electron domains, as in ethane $\text{C}_2\text{H}_6$
$sp^{2}$ , three electron domains, as in ethene $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$
$sp$ , two electron domains, as in ethyne $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

Carbon atoms with a $sp^{3}$ hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately $109.5\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp^{2}$ hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of $120\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp$ hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of $180\textdegree{}$

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

$sp^{3}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
$sp^{2}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.

Looking at the Periodic Table, how can you determine if an element is a metal, metalloid or nonmetal?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

It depends on where it's located on the periodic table.

Explanation:

Metals are on left side of the periodic table except Hydrogen (H), which is a nonmetal, then there's the staircase, which has the metalloids, and on the right of the staircase are the nonmetals.
