Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$

How many molecules of NH3 are produced from 4.72x10 negative 4 power g of H2?

Delvig [45]

<span>9.40x10^19 molecules.
The balanced equation for ammonia is:
N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3
So for every 3 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of ammonia is produced. So let's calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and ammonia, starting with the respective atomic weights:
Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794

Molar mass H2 = 2 * 1.00794 = 2.01588 g/mol
Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol

Moles H2 = 4.72 x 10^-4 g / 2.01588 g/mol = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol
Moles NH3 = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol * (2/3) = 1.56094x10^-4 mol

Now to convert from moles to molecules, just multiply by Avogadro's number: 1.56094x10^-4 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 9.400197448261x10^19
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 9.40x10^19 molecules.</span>
