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.

What is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 660L that contains 33.4g of AlCO3?
lana [24]

Answer:

The concentration of the solution is 5.8168 × 10^{-4} mol.dm^{-3}

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the concentration of the solution.

The unit of this is mol/dm^3

So the first thing to do here is to calculate the number of moles of the solute present, which is the number of moles of AlCO3

The number of moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass of AlCO3 = 27 + 12 + 3(16)  = 27 + 12 + 48 = 87g/mol

Number of moles = 33.4/87 = 0.384 moles

This 0.384 moles is present in 660 L

x moles will be present in 1 dm^3

Recall 1 dm^3 = 1L

x * 660 = 0.384 * 1

x = 0.384/660 = 0.00058168 = 5.8168 * 10^-4 mol/dm^3
