Answer:

8 water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bond may be H-O~H-N or  H-N~H-O; in the first one, the hydrogen bond is between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen which is covalently bonded to a nitrogen atom. The second one is the hydrogen bond of a nitrogen atom with a hydrogen covalently bonded to a oxygen one. The first case would be the hydrogen bonds that water may form with the hydrogen of the urea; the second ones would be the hydrogen bonds that urea may form with water molecules. So, for each nitrogen in urea there would be a hydrogen bond, and for each hydrogen too. Finally, the oxygen in the urea molecule may form hydrogen bonds with water as well, but it has two lone pairs to donate, so the oxygen atom may form hydrogen bond with 2 water molecules:

N=(2 because of the oxygen atom of the urea)+(4 because of the hydrogen bonded to nitrogen)+2(because of the nitrogens).

N=8.

Cindy runs 2 kilometers every morning. She takes 2 minutes for the first 250 meters, 4 minutes for the next 1,000 meters, 1 minu
Andrei [34K]

In order to calculate average speed we will calculate the total distance in meters traveled by cindy.

Distance = 2 Km

1 km = 1000m

So distance in meters = 2000 m

Then let us calculate the total time taken by cindy to cover these 2000 meters

Total time in minutes = 2 + 4 + 1 + 3 = 10 minute

Average speed = total distance  / total time

Average speed = 2000 m / 10 minutes

average speed = 200 m / min
