Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
In this case, we have to keep in mind the valence electrons for each atom:
<u>N => 5 electrons</u>
<u>O => 6 electrons</u>
If the formula is , we will have in total:
Additionally, we have to remember that each atom must have 8 electrons. So, for <u>oxygens 5 and 3</u> we will have 3 lone pairs and 1 bond (in total 8 electrons. For oxygens, <u>6 and 4</u> we will have 2 lone pairs and 2 bonds (in total 8 electrons) and for <u>nitrogens 1 and 2</u> we will have 4 bonds (in total 8 electrons).
To find the <u>hybridization</u>, we have to count the atoms and the lone pairs around the nitrogen. We have 3 atoms and zero lone pairs. If we take into account the following rules:
With this in mind, the hybridization of nitrogen is .

Answer:
Paraffin combustion produces more energy per gram than ethanol fuel but paraffin fuel has a larger carbon footprint
Explanation:
Paraffin is also known by the standard chemical name alkane with a chemical formula for a paraffin given as follows;
CₙH₂ₙ₊₂
While gasoline, also known as petrol, consists of light weight alkanes and alkenes
The heat of combustion of gasoline is about 47.3 kJ/g
The combustion of gasoline is incomplete as presented in the following equation
Example of complete combustion of octane, however, is given as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O + Energy
The source of paraffin is from petroleum
Ethanol fuel can be produced by the fermentation of Sugar
The heat of combustion of ethanol = 1366.91 kJ/mol = 29.664 kJ/g.
2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O + Energy
