A species that is isoelectronic with the nitrate ion and hence would have the same shape is [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] sulphur trioxide

Bumek [7]

Answer:

[1] sulphur trioxide

Explanation:

Isoelectronic species have the same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons in nitrate (NO₃⁻):

5e- (N) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) + 1e- (charge) = 24e-

Valence electrons in sulphur trioxide (SO₃):

6e- (S) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) = 24e-

Valence electrons in sulphite (SO₃²⁻):

6e- (S) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) + 2e- (charge) = 26e-

Valence electrons in phosphine (PH₃):

5e- (P) + (3 x 1e-)(3xH) = 8e-

Valence electrons in water (H₂O):

6e- (O) + (2 x 1e-)(2xH) = 8e-

Valence electrons in chlorite (ClO₂⁻):

7e- (Cl⁻) + (2 x 6e-)(2xO) + 1e- (charge) = 20e-

The only species isoelectronic with nitrate is sulphur trioxide. Both have trigonal planar geoemetry.

Does this equation obey the law of conservation of mass: 2Z + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

2Zn + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2

LHS of equation

Z = 2

H = 2

Cl = 2

RHS of equation

Zn = 1

Cl =2

H =2

as Zn is not equal in number of atoms on both sides of the equation, the equation does not obey the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

the law of conservation mass states that the mass of an isolated system cannot be created nor destroyed by any chemical reaction or physical transformation. thus, there must be an equal number of atoms of an element present on both sides of the equation.

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

$C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g$

Mass of $H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{97.73}{97.73}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$
