Answer:

a) ammonium ion

b) amide ion

Explanation:

The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.

First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.

The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.

The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.

The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.

A gas exerts a pressure of 350.0 torr at 20.0 Celsius. What would be the new pressure in atmospheres if the temperature is raise
IgorC [24]

Answer:

373.88 torr

Explanation:

P1 = 350 torr

T1 = 20°C = (20 + 273.15)K = 293.15K

P2 = ?

T2 = 40°C = (40 + 273.15)K = 313.15K

From pressure law,

Pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

P = KT

K = P / T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Solve for P2

P2 = (P1 * T2) / T1

P2 = (350 * 313.15) / 293.15

P2 = 109602.5 / 293.15

P2 = 373.878 torr

P2 = 373.88 torr

The new pressure of the gas would be 373.88 torr.

How many molecules are in 9.8 grams of calcium
solniwko [45]
Molar mass of Calcium ( Ca ) = 40.078 g/mol

Number of moles in 9.8 grams :

1 mole Ca -----------> 40.078 g
mole Ca -------------> 9.8 g

moles Ca = 9.8 / 40.078

moles Ca = 0.2445 moles

number of molecules:

1 mole ----------------> 6.02x10²³ molecules
0.2445 moles --------> ?

= 0.2445 * 6.02x10²³

= 1.47x10²³ molecules

hope this helps!.

How many atoms of each element does sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, contain?
vfiekz [6]

Sodium carbonate contains 3 elements: Na, C, and O. Step 2: Determine how many atoms of each element are in the formula. Na, Co, is made up of Na, C, and O3, so Na.co, has 2 atoms of sodium (Na) 1 atom of carbon (C) and 3 atoms of oxygen (O).
