For multiple covalent bonds to form in molecules, the molecules must contain carbon nitrogen or oxygen.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Think about carbon dioxide (CO2). If every oxygen atom imparts one electron to the carbon molecule, there will be 6 electrons in carbon particle and 7 electrons in every oxygen atom. This doesn't give the carbon atom as a total octet.
- Sometimes more than one set of electrons is shared between two atoms. In carbon dioxide, a second electron from every oxygen atom is likewise imparted with the central carbon atom, and the carbon particle imparts one more electron with every oxygen atom.
- Two sets of electrons shared between two atoms make a double bond between the atoms. A few particles contain triple bonds, covalent bonds in which three sets of electrons are shared by two atoms.
When ammonia is reacted with HCl it abstracts proton from acid and forms Ammonium Ion and Chloride Ion.
NH₃ + HCl → ⁺NH₄ + Cl⁻ (simply Written NH₄Cl)
Structure,
The structure of Ammonium Chloride is among those structures which contains all three types of bonding's, i.e.
Ionic Bond
Covalent Bond
Coordinate Covalent Bond
Three Hydrogen atoms previously bonded with Nitrogen are covalent in nature. The new incoming proton from HCl forms co-ordinate covalent bond with Nitrogen and Chloride Ion containing negative charge make Ionic Bond with the positive Ammonium Ion. In question, if the line between Nitrogen and Chlorine atom is assumed covalent then it is incorrect. Structure is shown below,
The temperature increase is from 19.5 to 100 degrees centigrade or 80.5 degrees centigrade. The calorie increase is 2.50 x 1000 x 0.238902957619 or a total of 597.25 calories. 597.25/80.5 = 7.419 calories per degree centigrade. 7.419/135 grams = 0.0549 calories/gram/degree centigrade. The conversion from kilo joules involves multiplying the calories per joule x 1000 to get the number of calories in one kilo joule and then by the 2.5.
