Answer:

The strongest force that exists between molecules of Ammonia is <em>Hydrogen Bonding</em>.

Explanation:

Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial positive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative atom of another molecule.

Hence, in ammonia the nitrogen atom being more electronegative element than Hydrogen will be having partial negative charge and making the hydrogen atom partial positive. Therefore, the attraction between these partials charges will be the main force of interaction between ammonia molecules.

Other than Hydrogen bonding interactions ammonia will also experience dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion forces.

As of August 2019 the population of the Earth is 7.7 billion (7.7 x 10°)

Viefleur [7K]

Answer: 8.24x10^5 years, or 8.24x10^3 centuries

Explanation: Sequential conversions to arrive at a total population rate of 2.31x10^10 atoms/sec for the entire population. Total seconds would be (6.02x10^23 atoms/2.31x10^10 atoms/sec) = 2.60x10^13 seconds. No breaks allowed, then (2.60x10^13 seconds)/(3.1536x10^7 sec/year)= 8.24x10^5 years.

A(n) ________________ is a structure or behaviors in organisms that help them survive in their environment.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Adaptations

Explanation:

Adaptation is simply defined as a specific characteristics of an animal or plant which can be a body part, body covering, or behavior that helps an animal or plant survive in its environment.

The common types of Adaptations includes Physical adaptation which entails a change to a part of the body and Behavioral adaptation which is simply what an animal does in response to an external stimulus.

Examples of Adaptation includes Hibernation, Camouflage, Mimicry, Whiskers, Beaks and others. In plants, seed colour, hard endocarp, secretions e. t. c helps them survive in their environment.

The density of concentrated ammonia, which is 28.0% w/w nh3, is 0.899 g/ml. what volume of this reagent should be diluted to 1.0

vlada-n [284]

Answer: 2.4 ml

Solution :

Molar mass of $NH_3$ = 17 g/mole

Given,: 28% w/w of $NH_3$ solution means 28 g of ammonia in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = 100 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}=\frac{100g}{0.899g/ml}=111.2ml$

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute $NH_3=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{28}{17}=1.65moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in liter = 0.11 L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.65moles}{0.11L}=15mole/L$

Using molarity equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$15\times V_1=0.036\times 1.0\times 10^{3}$

$V_1=2.4ml$

100.00 mL of 0.15 M nitrous acid (HNO2) are titrated with a 0.15 M NaOH solution. (a) Calculate the pH for the initial solution.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. pH = 2.04

b. pH = 3.85

c. pH = 8.06

d. pH = 11.56

Explanation:

The nitrous acid is a weak acid (Ka = 5.6x10⁻⁴) that reacts with NaOH as follows:

HNO₂ + NaOH → NaNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

a. At the beginning there is just a solution of 0.12M HNO₂. As Ka is:

Ka = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Where [H⁺] and [NO₂⁻] ions comes from the same equilibrium ([H⁺] = [NO₂⁻] = X):

5.6x10⁻⁴ = X² / 0.15M

8.4x10⁻⁵ = X²

X = [H⁺] = 9.165x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

b. At this point we have HNO₂ and NaNO₂ (The weak acid and the conjugate base), a buffer. The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [NaNO₂] / [HNO₂]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer,</em>

<em>And [NaNO₂] [HNO₂] could be taken as the moles of each compound.</em>

<em />

The initial moles of HNO₂ are:

0.100L * (0.15mol / L) = 0.015moles

The moles of base added are:

0.0800L * (0.15mol / L) = 0.012moles

The moles of base added = Moles of NaNO₂ produced = 0.012moles.

And the moles of HNO₂ that remains are:

0.015moles - 0.012moles = 0.003moles

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.25 + log [0.012moles] / [0.003moles]

c. At equivalence point all HNO2 reacts producing NaNO₂. The volume added of NaOH must be 100mL. That means the concentration of the NaNO₂ is:

0.15M / 2 = 0.075M

The NaNO₂ is in equilibrium with water as follows:

NaNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HNO₂(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + Na⁺

The equilibrium constant, kb, is:

Kb = Kw/Ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.6x10⁻⁴ = 1.79x10⁻¹¹ = [OH⁻] [HNO₂] / [NaNO₂]

<em>Where [OH⁻] = [HNO₂] = x</em>

<em />

1.79x10⁻¹¹ = [X] [X] / [0.075M]

1.34x10⁻¹² = X²

X = 1.16x10⁻⁶M = [OH⁻]

pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.94

pH = 14-pOH

d. At this point, 5mL of NaOH are added in excess, the moles are:

5mL = 5x10⁻³L * (0.15mol / L) =7.5x10⁻⁴moles NaOH

In 100mL + 105mL = 205mL = 0.205L. [NaOH] = 7.5x10⁻⁴moles NaOH / 0.205L =

3.66x10⁻³M = [OH⁻]

pOH = 2.44

pH = 14 - pOH

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?

lora16 [44]

<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>
