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.

Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 85 wt% fe-15 wt% v alloy. All of the vanadium is in solid solution, and, at room temp
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer is 0.289nm.

Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.

wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%

wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%

We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.

Using density formula,

\rho_{ave}=\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{a^3\times N_A}

For calculating edge length,

a=(\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{\rho_{ave}\times N_A})^{1/3}

For calculating M_{ave}, we use the formula

M_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{M_V}}

Similarly for calculating (\rho)_{ave}, we use the formula

\rho_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{\rho_V}}

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written

M_{Fe}= 55.85g/mol

M_{V}=50.941g/mol

Specific density of both the elements are

(\rho)_{Fe}=7.874g/cm^3\\(\rho)_{V}=6.10g/cm^3

Putting  M_{ave} and \rho_{ave} formula's in edge length formula, we get

a=\left [\frac{Z\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}}  \right )}{N_A\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}+\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

a=\left [\frac{2atoms/\text{unit cell}\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{55.85g/mol}+\frac{15\%}{50.941g/mol}}  \right )}{(6.023\times10^{23}atoms/mol)\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{7.874g/cm^3}+\frac{15\%}{6.10g/cm^3}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

By calculating, we get

a=2.89\times10^{-8}cm=0.289nm
