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°.

Answer:

5.06 atm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass of S2O = 175g

Volume (V) = 16600 mL

Temperature (T) = 195°C

Pressure (P)

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of S2O in 175g of S2O.

Mass of S2O = 175g

Molar Mass of S2O = (32x2) + 16 = 64 + 16 = 80g/mol

Number of mole of S2O =.?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of S2O = 175/80

Number of mole of S2O = 2.1875 moles

Step 3:

Conversion to appropriate units.

It is essential to always express the various variables in the right units of measurement in order to obtain the desired answer in the right units.

For volume:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 16600mL = 16600/1000 = 16.6L

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

Temperature (celsius) = 195°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 195°C + 273 = 468K

Step 4:

Determination of the pressure.

The pressure can be obtained by the application of the ideal gas equation. This is illustrated below:

Volume (V) = 16.6L

Temperature (T) = 468K

Number of mole (n) = 2.1875 moles

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =

PV = nRT

P x 16.6 = 2.1875 x 0.082 x 468

Divide both side by 16.6

P = (2.1875 x 0.082 x 468) /16.6

P = 5.06 atm

Therefore, the pressure is 5.06 atm
