Answer : The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below and the nitrogen has 4 covalent bonds.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The number of valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, nitrate ion

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NO_3^-$ = 5 + 3(6) + 1 = 24 electrons

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

The correct Lewis-dot structure of nitrate ion is shown below.

Answer: The approximate equilibrium partial pressure of $H_2S$ is 3.92 atm

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients.

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$2H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S_2(g)$

$K_p=\frac{[H_2]^2\times [S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}$

$1.5\times 10^{-5}=\frac{[H_2]^2\times [S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}$

On reversing the reaction:

$2H_2(g)+S_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2S(g)$

initial pressure 4.00atm 2.00 atm 0

eqm (4.00-2x)atm (2.00-x) atm 2x atm

$K_p=\frac{[H_2S]^2}{[H_2]^2\times [S_2]}$

$K_p'=\frac{1}{K_p}=0.67\times 10^5$

$2H_2(g)+S_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2S(g)$

$0.67\times 10^5=\frac{2x]^2}{[4.00-2x]^2\times [2.00-x]}$

$x=1.96$

$[H_2S]=2x=2\times 1.96=3.92 atm$

Thus approximate equilibrium partial pressure of $H_2S$ is 3.92 atm

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.
