Given the information that nitrogen atoms are larger than hydrogen atoms,which of the models best represent ammonia?(NH3)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>The correct option is the structure in the option D. </em>

Explanation:

Ammonia contains a single nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.

The structure present in option A shows a single nitrogen atom bonded with a single hydrogen atom hence it is not correct.

The structure in option B shows a nitrogen atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms hence it is also not correct.

The structure in option C shows a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms hence it is also not correct.

The structure in option D shows a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms which is the correct structure of ammonia (NH3).

At what temperature is the following reaction feasible: HCl(g) + NH3(g) -&gt; NH4Cl(s)?
Nutka1998 [239]
Energy is distributed not just in translational KE, but also in rotation, vibration and also distributed in electronic energy levels (if input great enough, bond breaks).

All four forms of energy are quantised and the quanta ‘gap’ differences increases from trans. KE ==> electronic.

Entropy (S) and energy distribution: The energy is distributed amongst the energy levels in the particles to maximise their entropy.

Entropy is a measure of both the way the particles are arranged AND the ways the quanta of energy can be arranged.

We can apply ΔSθsys/surr/tot ideas to chemical changes to test feasibility of a reaction:

ΔSθtot = ΔSθsys +  ΔSθsurr

ΔSθtot must be >=0 for a chemical change to be feasible.

For example: CaCO3(s) ==> CaO(s) + CO2(g) 

ΔSθsys = ΣSθproducts – ΣSθreactants 

ΔSθsys = SθCaO(s) + SθCO2(g) – SθCaCO3(s) 

ΔSθsurr is –ΔHθ/T(K) and ΔH is very endothermic (very +ve),

Now ΔSθsys is approximately constant with temperature and at room temperature the ΔSθsurr term is too negative for ΔSθtot to be plus overall.

But, as the temperature is raised, the ΔSθsurr term becomes less negative and eventually at about 800oCΔSθtot becomes plus overall (and ΔGθ becomes negative), so the decomposition is now chemically, and 'commercially' feasible in a lime kiln.

CaCO3(s) ==> CaO(s) + CO2(g)  ΔHθ = +179 kJ mol–1  (very endothermic)

This important industrial reaction for converting limestone (calcium carbonate) to lime (calcium oxide) has to be performed at high temperatures in a specially designed limekiln – which these days, basically consists of a huge rotating angled ceramic lined steel tube in which a mixture of limestone plus coal/coke/oil/gas? is fed in at one end and lime collected at the lower end. The mixture is ignited and excess air blasted through to burn the coal/coke and maintain a high operating temperature.
ΔSθsys = ΣSθproducts – ΣSθreactants
ΔSθsys = SθCaO(s) + SθCO2(g) – SθCaCO3(s) = (40.0) + (214.0) – (92.9) = +161.0 J mol–1 K–1
ΔSθsurr is –ΔHθ/T = –(179000/T)
ΔSθtot = ΔSθsys +  ΔSθsurr
ΔSθtot = (+161) + (–179000/T) = 161 – 179000/T
If we then substitute various values of T (in Kelvin) you can calculate when the reaction becomes feasible.
For T = 298K (room temperature)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/298 = –439.7 J mol–1 K–1, no good, negative entropy change

For T = 500K (fairly high temperature for an industrial process)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/500 = –197.0, still no good

For T = 1200K (limekiln temperature)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/1200 = +11.8 J mol–1 K–1, definitely feasible, overall positive entropy change

Now assuming ΔSθsys is approximately constant with temperature change and at room temperature the ΔSθsurr term is too negative for ΔSθtot to be plus overall. But, as the temperature is raised, the ΔSθsurr term becomes less negative and eventually at about 800–900oC ΔSθtot becomes plus overall, so the decomposition is now chemically, and 'commercially' feasible in a lime kiln.
You can approach the problem in another more efficient way by solving the total entropy expression for T at the point when the total entropy change is zero. At this point calcium carbonate, calcium oxide and carbon dioxide are at equilibrium.
ΔSθtot–equilib = 0 = 161 – 179000/T, 179000/T = 161, T = 179000/161 = 1112 K

This means that 1112 K is the minimum temperature to get an economic yield. Well at first sight anyway. In fact because the carbon dioxide is swept away in the flue gases so an equilibrium is never truly attained so limestone continues to decompose even at lower temperatures.

The pressure exerted by a gas in a container depends on what?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

From gas laws (pressure law and Boyles law), the pressure exerted by a gas depends on Temperature of the gas and volume of the container.

Explanation:

{ \boxed{ \rm{P \:  \alpha  \:  \frac{T}{V} }}}

• P → Pressure exerted by the gas.

• T → Temperature of the gas.

• V → Volume of the container.

• from the expression, pressure exerted by the gas is directly proportional to temperature of the gas and inversely proportional to the volume of the container.

What does the nucleus do
mel-nik [20]
<span>The nucleus is the organelle present in eukaryotic cells with the main function in the control of all cell activities and maintaining the gene integrity. Namely, it contains the genetic material of the cell in the form of chromosomes (DNA molecules in complex with proteins). It is enclosed by the nuclear membrane which regulates the movement of proteins and RNA in and out of the nucleus.</span>
