How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell

Chemistry

It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration. 

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!

Answer: 3 more electrons

Explanation: Generally elements with inert gas configuration are more stable. It is also called as Octet rule.

It tells that, elements which have electrons equal to atomic number of inert gases (2,8,10,18,36 etc) in their valency shell are exceptionally stable.

Here in our case, nitrogen has atomic number-7, 1s2 2s2 2p3

Here N has 5 electrons in valency shell , hence it needs 3 more electrons to get octet configuration.

So answer is 3 Electrons

Now they feel it is best to have you identify an unknown gas based on its properties. Suppose 0.508 g of a gas occupies a volume
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             mass = 0.508 g,               Volume = 0.175 L

             Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K,       P = 1 atm

As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

where,  n = no. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.

               PV = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT            

           1 atm \times 0.175 L = \frac{0.508 g}{\text{molar mass}} \times 0.0821 L atm/ K mol \times 298 K  

                            = 71.02 g

As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of Cl_{2} is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).

Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.

What is the binding energy of a nucleus that has a mass defect of 5.81*10-^29 kg
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Choice A: Approximately 5.23 \times 10^{-29} joules.

Explanation:

Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29} kilograms of mass.

E = m \cdot c^{2},

where

  • E stands for energy,
  • m stands for mass, and
  • c is the speed of light in vacuum.

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of c?

The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:

Mass is in kilograms.

Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light, c \approx \rm 3.00\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}.

Apply the mass-energy equivalence:

\begin{aligned} E &= m \cdot c^{2} \\ &= \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}\; kg \times {\left(3.00\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\ &\approx \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\;kg\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}.

The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)

\rm 1\; J = 1\; N \times 1\; m.

However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)

\begin{aligned}\rm 1\; J &= \rm 1\; N \times 1\; m\\ & = \rm \left(1\; kg\times 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}\right)\times 1\; m\\ &= \rm 1\; kg \cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the mass defect here is also \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\; J.

muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

The missing image is attached below.

The objective of this question is to draw the major product formed from the diagram attached below.

From the diagram attached, we will see the reaction of a tertiary alkyl halide together with a weak nucleophile (ch3ch2oh) undergoing a nucleophilic substitution (SN₁) mechanism to yield a racemic mixture(i.e., compound that is not optically active but contains an equal amount of dextrorotatory and levorotatory stereoisomers) as a product.

Urea, CH4N2O (s), is manufactured from NH3 (g) and CO2 (g). H2O (l) is another product of this reaction. An experiment is starte
Katarina [22]

Answer:

a. 4.41 g of Urea

b. 1.5 g of Urea

Explanation:

To start the problem, we define the reaction:

2NH₃ (g) +  CO₂ (g) → CH₄N₂O (s)  +  H₂O(l)

We only have mass of ammonia, so we assume the carbon dioxide is in excess and ammonia is the limiting reactant:

2.6 g . 1mol / 17g = 0.153 moles of ammonia

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of ammonia can produce 1 mol of urea

0.153 moles ammonia may produce, the half of moles

0153 /2 = 0.076 moles of urea

To state the theoretical yield we convert moles to mass:

0.076 mol . 58 g/mol = 4.41 g

That's the 100 % yield reaction

If the percent yield, was 34%:

4.41 g . 0.34 = 1.50 g of urea were produced.

Formula is (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 → Percent yield
