The balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is as follows
N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃
stoichiometry of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3
we need to find the moles of N₂, volume of N₂ has been given
molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at STP.
if 22.4 L is occupied by 1 mol
then 3.5 L of gas is occupied by - 3.5 L / 22.4 L/mol = 0.16 mol
number of moles of N₂ present - 0.16 mol
1 mol of N₂ requires 3 mol of H₂
therefore 0.16 mol of N₂ requires - 3 x 0.16 = 0.48 mol of H₂
mass of H₂ required - 0.48 mol x 2 g/mol = 0.96 g
0.96 g of H₂ is required
Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
This allows us to visually see the structure of the atoms/ molecules so we can get a better understanding of what they look like.
