Reaction with acid. That is a chemical reaction.
Since we already have the counts of the number of moles of each element in 1 mole of ammonium nitrate (which are 2 mol N, 4 mol H, 3 mol O), we multiply each of these by the molar masses:
N has a molar mass of 14.0 g/mol, so multiplying by 2 mol N gives 28.0 g N
H has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol, so multiplying by 4 mol H gives 4.0 g H
O has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mol, so multiplying by 3 mol O gives 48.0 g O
So there are 28.0 g N, 4.0 g H, and 48.0 g O. (The total mass would be 80.0 g ammonium nitrate.)
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation given in the problem is correct but not totally encompassing.
Van der waals interactions are a type of hydrophobic interaction, in which they do not interact with the polar water molecule. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms of relatively similar electronegativities, and are most often too strong to disrupt by polar molecules of water. Therefore, covalent bonds and van der waals forces have an Intrinsic bond strength value that is independent of the environment.
However, either the partial negative oxygen atom or the partial positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules disrupt hydrogen or ionic bonds. Water is known to form hydrogen bonds with other polar or charged molecules, thus reducing the strength of interaction these molecules would normally have in the absence of water. Basically, these compounds with Hydrogen or Ionic bonds ionize, whether partially or fully in water, thereby leading to a decrease in bond strength in water.
QED!
Answer:
A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.
