Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 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, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 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 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 NH_3 is shown below.

What is the pH of a solution that has a pOH of 5.9
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

pH = 8.1

Explanation:

Assuming that we are at 25 degrees Celsius, pH + pOH = 14.

We can then plug in the given pOH and solve for pH:

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 5.9 = 14

pH = 14 - 5.9 = 8.1
