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.

Under certain conditions, the equilibrium constant of the reaction below is Kc=1.7×10−3. If the reaction begins with a concentra

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

[Cl2] equilibrium = 0.0089 M

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

[SbCl5] = 0 M

[SbCl3] = [Cl2] = 0.0546 M

Kc = 1.7*10^-3

<u>To determine:</u>

The equilibrium concentration of Cl2

<u>Calculation:</u>

Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction:

$SbCl5(g)\rightleftharpoons SbCl3(g)+Cl2(g)$

I 0 0.0546 0.0546

C +x -x -x

E x (0.0546-x) (0.0546-x)

$Kc = \frac{[SbCl3][Cl2]}{[SbCl5]}\\\\1.7*10^{-3} =\frac{(0.0546-x)^{2} }{x} \\\\x = 0.0457 M$

The equilibrium concentration of Cl2 is:

= 0.0546-x = 0.0546-0.0457 = 0.0089 M

Answer:

3.41 x10⁶ torr

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the equivalency:

1 torr = 133.322 Pa

Then we can proceed to<u> convert 4.55×10⁸ Pa into torr.</u> To do that we just need to multiply that value by a fraction number, putting the unit that we want to convert <em>from</em> in the <em>denominator</em>, and the value we want to convert <em>to</em> in the <em>numerator</em>:

4.55x10⁸ Pa * $\frac{1torr}{133.322Pa} =$ 3.41 x10⁶ torr

A certain electrolyte solution contains 1 gram of salt for every 8 grams of sugar and every 200 grams of water. If the sugar to

12345 [234]

Answer:

The resulting solution contains approximately 666 g of water.

Explanation:

In the initial solution we have:

1g salt : 8g sugar : 200g water

This means that the ratios are:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{8}{200} =\frac{1}{25}$

In the final solution we have:

5g salt: xg sugar: yg water

The new ratios are:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{3}{8} \\\\\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{1}{50}$

Now we can calculate the amount of sugar in the final solution:

$\frac{salt}{sugar} = \frac{5}{x} =\frac{3}{8} \\\\X = 13.333 g$

Finally, we calculate the amount of water:

$\frac{sugar}{water} = \frac{13.333}{y} = \frac{1}{50} \\y = 666.667 g$

(I)how many atoms are present in 7g of lithium?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer :

(i) The number of atoms present in 7 g of lithium are, $6.07\times 10^{23}$

(ii) The number of atoms present in 7 g of lithium are, $1.204\times 10^{24}$

(iii) The number of moles of $F_2$ is, 1 mole

The number of moles of $CO_2$ is, 0.5 mole

The number of moles of $OH^-$ is, 1 mole

Explanation :

<u>Part (i) :</u>

First we have to calculate the moles of lithium.

$\text{Moles of }Li=\frac{\text{Mass of }Li}{\text{Molar mass of }Li}$

Molar mass of Li = 6.94 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }Li=\frac{7g}{6.94g/mol}=1.008mole$

Now we have to calculate the number of atoms present.

As, 1 mole of lithium contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms

So, 1.008 mole of lithium contains $1.008\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=6.07\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms

Thus, the number of atoms present in 7 g of lithium are, $6.07\times 10^{23}$

<u>Part (ii) :</u>

First we have to calculate the moles of carbon.

$\text{Moles of }C=\frac{\text{Mass of }C}{\text{Molar mass of }C}$

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }C=\frac{24g}{12g/mol}=2mole$

Now we have to calculate the number of atoms present.

As, 1 mole of carbon contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of atoms

So, 2 mole of carbon contains $2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.204\times 10^{24}$ number of atoms

Thus, the number of atoms present in 7 g of lithium are, $1.204\times 10^{24}$

<u>Part (iii) :</u>

<u>To calculate the moles of </u> $F_2$ <u> :</u>

$\text{Moles of }F_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }F_2}{\text{Molar mass of }F_2}$

Molar mass of $F_2$ = 38 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }F_2=\frac{19g}{19g/mol}=1mole$

Thus, the number of moles of $F_2$ is, 1 mole

<u>To calculate the moles of </u> $CO_2$ <u> :</u>

$\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }CO_2}{\text{Molar mass of }CO_2}$

Molar mass of $CO_2$ = 44 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{22g}{44g/mol}=0.5mole$

Thus, the number of moles of $CO_2$ is, 0.5 mole

<u>To calculate the moles of </u> $OH^-$ <u> ions :</u>

$\text{Moles of }OH^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }OH^-}{\text{Molar mass of }OH^-}$

Molar mass of $OH^-$ = 17 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }OH^-=\frac{17g}{17g/mol}=1mole$

Thus, the number of moles of $OH^-$ is, 1 mole
