{\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.

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2
OLga [1]

Answer:

The empirical formula is, C4H4S

Explanation:

Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles

Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g

Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles

Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g

Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.

C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

C4H4S

How do the process of crabon cycle contribute to climate change.​
bonufazy [111]

Explanation:

Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time. These changes add more greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and this causes climate change.
