Copper is a metal that is used for many purposes. It is mined from the earth using various methods. Though the amount of copper

in the Earth's crust is very large, if the mining of copper continues, it will eventually run out.
All BUT one method listed below will help conserve the world copper supply. Which method might actually increase copper mining?
A) a plan to collect copper bound for landfills and recycling it instead
B) the development of a cheaper and more efficient way to mine for copper
C) development of a material that could serve as a substitute for copper wiring
D) the use of other metals to replace the copper normally found in electric motors

The ammonia molecule in the diagram has the observed bond orientation because ...
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  • Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
  • Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
  • Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.

Explanation:

The shape and the bond orientation of molecules and ions are both explained by the valences shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR).

Ammonia, NH_3, is a molecule which contains three N-H bonds, as well as one lone pair on nitrogen. According to the VSEPR theory, molecules try to acquire a shape which would minimize the repulsion exhibited by the electron clouds present, that is, between the bonding (shared in a bond) and non-bonding (lone pair) electrons.

In VSEPR, our main step is to calculate the steric number, this is the sum of the number of bonds (ignoring the multiplicity of any bond) and the lone pairs on a central atom. In ammonia, we have 3 bonds and 1 lone pair, totaling to a steric number of 4. A steric number of 4 without any lone pairs on a central atom and just bonds would yield a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5^o.

Now, in this case, since we have a lone pair instead of a bond, it is repelling stronger decreasing the bond angles to about 107^o.

The greater the number of lone pairs, the lower the angle becomes.

To summarize:

  • Nitrogen has four pairs of electrons: 3 bonds and 1 lone pair in the valence shell;
  • Electrons repel one another based on the VSEPR theory;
  • Nitrogen has a total of 7 protons (its atomic number is 7) in its nucleus.

Describe the protons, electrons, and neutrons of an atom of hydrogen-2.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

However, various hydrogen isotopes, such as H-2, have one proton and one neutron; H-3 has one proton and two neutrons, etc. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is its atomic mass. Thus, the atomic mass of the H-2 isotope is two, the atomic mass of the H-3 isotope is three, and so forth.

1.66 M is the concentration of the chemist's working solution.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per litres of a solution. Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.

In this case, we have a solution of Zn(NO₃)₂.

The chemist wants to prepare a dilute solution of this reactant.

The stock solution of the nitrate has a concentration of 4.93 M, and he wants to prepare 620 mL of a more dilute concentration of the same solution. He adds 210 mL of the stock and completes it with water until it reaches 620 mL.

We want to know the concentration of this diluted solution.

As we are working with the same solution, we can assume that the moles of the stock solution will be conserved in the diluted solution so:

n_1= n_2  (1)

and we also know that:

n = M x V_2

If we replace this expression in (1) we have:

M_1 x V_1= M_2 x V_2

Where 1, would be the stock solution and 2, the solution we want to prepare.

So, we already know the concentration and volume used of the stock solution and the desired volume of the diluted one, therefore, all we have to do is replace the given data in (2) and solve for the concentration which is M_2:

4.93 x 210 =  620 xM_2

M_2 = 1.66 M

This is the concentration of the solution prepared.

using the same balanced equation, what is the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced from 3.750 moles of propane?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

11.25moles of CO2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction of propane to produce CO2. This reaction called Combustion. It is a reaction in which propane burns in air (O2) to produce CO2 and H20. The equation is given below:

C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation,

1mole of C3H8 produced 3moles of CO2.

Therefore, 3.750 moles of C3H8 will produce = 3.750 x 3 = 11.25moles of CO2

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.
