Describe how NH3 and CF4 satisfies the octet for all atoms.

Let's start with ammonia (NH3)
A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons, and it wants a total of eight. It bonds with three hydrogen atoms, and "shares" one of its electrons with each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen atom now has six shared electrons and two unshared electrons, meaning the nitrogen atom now has eight. Hydrogen, on the other hand is special, as it only really wants two electrons in its outer shell, so it has a total of 2 shared electrons, and the octet or "Noble gas" rule is fulfilled, as hydrogen would then be like the nearest noble gas, helium.

For CF4, the explanation is much more simple. Each fluorine has seven outer electrons, so it wants to gain one more. Carbon has four electrons, and it wants to gain four. So, carbon shares one of each of its electrons with one of each fluorine's, making the carbon have eight electrons, and each fluorine has eight as well.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

7.5 pounds per square-inch

At sea level, one square-inch of any surface has about 15 pounds of air sitting on top of it. At 18,000 feet, that same square inch has only 7.5 pounds per square-inch (psi) exerted on it.

A sample that weighs 103.75 g is a mixture of 30% helium atoms and 70% krypton atoms. How many particles are present in the samp
aalyn [17]
1) we calculate the molar mass of He (helium) and Kr (Krypton).
atomic mass (He)=4 u
atomic mas (Kr)=83.8 u

Therefore the molar mass will be:
molar mass(He)=4 g/mol
molar mass(Kr)=83.8 g/mol.

1) We can find  the next equation:
mass=molar mass  x number of moles.

x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium. 

(4 g/mol) x  +(83.8 g/mol)y=103.75 g
Therefore, we have the next equation:

(1)

4x+83.8y=103.75


2) We can find other equation:

We have 30% helium atoms and 70% Kryptum atoms, therefore we have 30% Helium moles and 70% of Krypton moles.

1 mol  is always 6.022 * 10²³ atoms or molecules, (in this case atoms).

Then:
x=number of moles of helium
y=number of moles of helium.
(x+y)=number of moles of our sample.

x=30% of (x+y)

Therefore, we have this other equation:
(2)

x=0.3(x+y)


With the equations(1) and (2), we have the next system of equations:

4x+83.8y=103.75

x=0.3(x+y)  ⇒ x=0.3x+0.3y  ⇒    x-0.3x=0.3y  ⇒ 0.7 x=0.3y ⇒ x=0.3y/0.7
⇒x=3y/7

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x=3y/7

4(3y/7)+83.8y=103.75
lower common multiple)7
12y+586.6y=726.25
598.6y=726.25
y=1.21

x=3y/7=3(1.21)/7=0.52

We have 0.52 moles of  helium and 1.21 moles of Krypton.

1 mol=6.022 * 10²³ atoms

Total number of particles=(6.022 *10²³ atoms /1 mol) (number of moles of He+ number of moles of Kr).

Total number of particles=6.022 * 10²³ (0.52+1.21)=6.022 * 10²³ (1.73)=
=1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.

Answer: The sample have 1.044 * 10²⁴ atoms.
