Urea is an organic compound widely used as a fertilizer. Its solubility in water allows it to be made into aqueous fertilizer so

lutions and applied to crops in a spray. What is the maximum theoretical number of water molecules that one urea molecule can hydrogen bond with?

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.

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

Explanation :  Given,

Concentration of H_2 at equilibrium = 0.067 mol

Concentration of CO at equilibrium = 0.021 mol

Concentration of CH_3OH at equilibrium = 0.040 mol

The given chemical reaction is:

CO+2H_2\rightarrow CH_3OH

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

K_c=\frac{(0.040)}{(0.021)\times (0.067)^2}

K_c=424.3

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 424.3

Under which conditions do you expect helium gas to deviate most from ideal behavior?. . a. 100 K and 1 atm. b. 300 K and 2 atm.
mamaluj [8]
Ideal behavior is approached by gases when the conditions of the system are at a low pressure and high temperatures. Therefore, the correct answer is C. At the conditions of lowest temperature highest pressure, gases will deviate from an ideal gas.

What is meant by the octet rule? What electrons are involved? How does this affect how elements bond?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the observation that main group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas
