N2(g) + 2H(g) -> N2 H4(g) What are the volumes of N2 gas and H2 gas required to form 28.5 grams of N2 H4 at 30'C and 1.50 atm
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Volume of N₂ = 14.76 L

Volume of H₂ = 29.52 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of N₂H₄ formed = 28.5 g

Pressure = 1.50 atm

Temperature = 30°C (30+273 = 303 k)

Volume of N₂ and H₂ needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 2H₂  →  N₂H₄

Number of moles of N₂H₄ formed = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of N₂H₄ formed = 28.5 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles of N₂H₄ formed = 0.89 mol

Now we will compare the moles of N₂H₄ with N₂ and H₂ form balance chemical equation.

                N₂H₄                :                 N₂

                   1                     :                   1

                  0.89               :               0.89

                N₂H₄                :                 H₂

                   1                    :                  2

                 0.89               :                2×0.89 = 1.78 mol

Volume of H₂:

PV = nRT

1.50 atm × V = 1.78 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 303 K

V = 44.28atm.L /1.50 atm

V = 29.52 L

Volume of N₂:

PV = nRT

1.50 atm × V = 0.89 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 303 K

V = 22.14 atm.L /1.50 atm

V = 14.76 L

If the symbol X represents a central atom, Y represents outer atoms, and Z represents lone pairs on the central atom, the struct
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Electron geometry- Tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- Bent

Bond angle- <<109.5°

Explanation:

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs present bon the central atom of the molecule. The electron pairs orient themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between electron pairs.

However, the repulsion between all electron pairs is not the same. Lone pairs cause more repulsion around the central atom than bond pairs. Hence lone pairs tend to distort the molecular structure away from that predicted on the basis of Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.

Considering XY2Z2, there are four electron domains, two bond pairs with bonding groups at 180° apart and two lone pairs. Based on VSEPR theory, a tetrahedral shape is expected with a bond angle of about 109°.

The presence of two lone pairs distorts the observed molecular geometry to a bent shape with bond angle <<109°, hence the answer above.

Please help me answer these 3 questions
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

It is expressed using the equation below;

      6CO₂   +   6H₂O     →      C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂

         reactants                      products

1. Compounds consumed are carbon dioxide and water.

2. Product is glucose and oxygen.

3. Most organism obtain their nourishment directly and indirectly from photosynthetic activities.

Plants are the producers of food in the ecosystem. If the process of photosynthesis does not occur, there is no way other organisms will obtain their own nourishment.
