Answer:

The correct option is: D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Explanation:    

Ammonia is a hydride of nitrogen with the chemical formula NH₃. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal structure.  

In water, ammonia acts as a Lewis base due to the presence of lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Lewis bases are electron pair or lone pair donors.

At a constant temperature, 600 mL of an ideal gas is at a pressure of 760 mmHg . If the volume is decreased to 300 mL, the press
belka [17]

Answer:

1520mmHg

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 600 mL

P1 (initial pressure) = 760 mmHg

V2 (final volume) = 300 mL

P2 (final pressure) =.?

Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the final pressure of the gas can easily be obtained as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

760 x 600 = P2 x 300

Divide both side by 300

P2 = (760 x 600) /300

P2 = 1520mmHg

The final pressure of the gas is 1520mmHg

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Isopropylbenzene

Explanation:

If you draw the structure, you can see that there are two methyl groups and in between there.

Adjacent to CH3, there are four neighbouring hydrogens, therefore, n=4+1 = 5. The same is for methyl on other side. For carbon present in benzene ring,  there is 2, since there is one hydrogen on benzene per carbon.

How many grams of oxygen are produced when 1.05 moles of hydrogen gas is<br> produced?
vivado [14]

Answer:

1.058337 grams of hydrogen and 2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O hydrogen peroxide

mols H2 = grams/molar mass

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols H2 to mols O2.

Now convert mols O2 to grams. That's grams mols O2 x molar mass O2.

and it could also produce H2O water but no air but it could make other things
