Answer:
The answer is: Hydrolysis
Explanation:
Hydrolysis is the chemical method in which water molecule is added to a molecule, which leads to the cleavage of one or more chemical bonds in the molecule. In this reaction, the water molecule acts as a nucleophile and breaks down the large molecules like polymers into smaller molecules such as monomers. Hydrolysis reaction includes fragmentation, elimination substitution reactions.
Answer:
The correct answer is reduction.
Explanation:
Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas and get reduced to form ammonia. In this reaction.This is important reaction of atmospheric nitrogen fixation.The reaction is carried out by many nitrogen fixing bacteria such as Azotobacter,Clostridium etc.
N2+3H2+6e- = 2NH3
Answer:
D. The equipment needed to accommodate the high temperature and pressure will be expensive to produce.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, for the considered reaction, it is clear it is an exothermic reaction because it produces energy; and therefore, the higher the temperature the more reactants are yielded as the reverse reaction is favored. Moreover, since the effect of pressure is verified as favoring the side with fewer moles; in this case the products side (2 moles of ammonia).
In such a way, the high pressure favors the formation of ammonia whereas the high temperature the formation of hydrogen and nitrogen and therefore, option A is ruled out. Since the high pressure shifts the reaction rightwards and the high temperature leftwards, we would not be able to know whether the reaction has ended or not because it will be a "go and come back" process, that is why B is also discarded. Now, since hydrogen and nitrogen would be the "wastes", we discard C because they are not toxic. That is why the most accurate answer would be D. because it is actually true that such equipment is quite expensive.
Best regards!
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.
