Answer:
Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon.
Answer:
One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.
Explanation:
We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:
- calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
- assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
- assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
- assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
- the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
- calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
- nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.
Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.
By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.
We have to calculate the number of carbon atoms present in 2-carat pure diamond.
The number of carbon atoms present in 2-carat pure diamond is: 0.19 X 10²³ number of carbon atom.
Diamond is one allotrope of carbon. Atomic mass of carbon is 12.
Mass of one mole carbon atom is 12 g. One mole carbon contains Avogadro's number i.e, 6.023 X 10²³ number of atoms.
0.40 g diamond contains 0.40/12 moles= 0.033 moles of carbon atom.
So, number of carbon atoms present in 0.40 g diamond (i.e, 0.033 mole diamond) is 0.033 X 6.023 X 10²³= 1.98 X 10²²=0.19 X 10²³ .
Therefore, 0.19 X 10²³ number of carbon atoms are in a 2-carat pure diamond that has a mass of 0.40 g
