{\text{N}}={\text{O}} bond in {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2} is \boxed{{\text{shorter}}} than {\text{N}}-{\text{O}} bond in {\text{NO}}_2^-.

Further explanation:

Bond length:

The average distance between the nuclei of the bonded atoms in a molecule. When two similar atoms are bonded together, half of the bond length is known as the covalent radius. The unit of bond length is picometer.

The order of bond length of various bonds is as follows:

{\text{Triple bond }}

Bond order:

It is used to evaluate the number of electrons that are included in the bond formation between two atoms in a molecule. It determines the stability of the chemical bond. The value of bond orders for single, double and triple bonds are 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Higher the bond order, smaller will be the bond length and vice-versa. Bond order between the atoms is inversely proportional to the bond length between the atoms.

The resonating structures of {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2} are drawn in the attached image. Structure (II) is highly unstable so {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2}exists primarily in the form of structure (I). So {\text{N}}={\text{O}}bond in {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2}is a double bond, and its bond order is 2.

The resonating structures of {\text{NO}}_2^- are drawn in the attached image. Both structures (I) and (II) are equally stable. So {\text{N}}-{\text{O}}bond acquires partial double bond character and therefore its bond length is shorter than its actual bond length.

Bond order in {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2} is higher than that in {\text{NO}}_2^-. Therefore {\text{N}}={\text{O}} bond in {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_2} is shorter than {\text{N}}-{\text{O}} bond in {\text{NO}}_2^-.

Explanation:

Bond order is inversely proportional to the bond length.

B.O\propto \frac{1}{B.L}

In HNO_2 molecule. one nitrogen is double bonded to nitrogen and one oxygen is single bonded to nitrogen and hydrogen bond.

  • Bond order between the (N=O) bond is 2 which means that bond length between the (N=O) bond is shorter than that of the N-O bond.
  • Bond order between the (N-O) bond is 1 which means that bond length of the N-O bond is longer than that of the bond length of (N=O) bond.

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol

What volume of oxygen at STP is requieres for the complete combustion of 100.50 mL of C2H2
malfutka [58]

The volume of oxygen at STP required would be 252.0 mL.

<h3>Stoichiometic problem</h3>

The equation for the complete combustion of C2H2 is as below:

2C_2H_2 + 5O_2 --- > 4CO_2 + 2H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H2 to O2 is 2:5.

1 mole of a gas at STP is 22.4 L.

At STP, 100.50 mL of C2H2 will be:

                 100.50 x 1/22400 = 0.0045 mole

Equivalent mole of O2 according to the balanced equation = 5/2 x 0.0045 = 0.01125 moles

0.01125 moles of O2 at STP = 0.01125 x 22400 = 252.0 mL

Thus, 252.0 mL of O2 gas will be required at STP.
