Correct Answer: <span>O and P

Reason: 
The nature of bond depends on the electronegativity difference of constituent atoms. If difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is more, it will result in ionic bonding. Alternatively, if difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is less, it will prefer covalent bonding. Further,  covalently bonded </span><span>elements are most likely to form polyatomic ions.

In present case, electronegativity difference of O and P is minimum. Hence, they </span><span>are most likely to form polyatomic ions.</span>

klemol [59]

Empirical formula = mol ratio

mol H = 9.42 x 10²⁴ : 6.02 x 10²³ = 15.648

mol N = 3/9 x 15.648 = 5.216

mass N = 5.216 x 14 g/mol =73.024 g

Use the following MO diagram for Be2, Be2+, and Be2-. Based on this diagram,
Marta_Voda [28]
Bond Order = [Σ (bonding e-) - Σ (antibonding e-)]/2 
<span>Be2 = 4e = σ1(2e) σ2*(2e) σ3(0) π1(0) π2*(0) σ4*(0) bo = 0 </span>
<span>[Be2]+ = 3e = σ1(2e) σ2*(1e) σ3(0) π1(0) π2*(0) σ4*(0) bo = 0.5 </span>
<span>[Be2]+ would be more likely to exist since it has a bond order of 0.5 whereas Be2 has zero bond order</span>

Calculate the concentration of buffer components present in 287.00 mL of a buffer solution that contains 0.310 M NH4Cl and 0.310
ozzi

Answer:

NH₄⁺: 0.340M

NH₃: 0.277M

Explanation:

A buffer is the mixture of a strong acid with its conjugate base.

For the buffer of NH₃ / NH₄⁺, moles of each one are:

NH₄⁺: 0.287L × (0.310mol / L) = 0.0890 moles

NH₃: 0.287L × (0.310mol / L) = 0.0890 moles

The reaction of HNO₃ with NH₃ is:

HNO₃ + NH₃ →  NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻

Moles of 1.50mL of 6.00M HNO₃ are:

1.50x10⁻³L × (6.00mol / L) = 9x10⁻³ moles of HNO₃. These moles are moles produced of NO₃⁻ and consumed of NH₃. Thus moles after reaction are:

NH₄⁺: 0.0890 moles + 0.0090 moles = <em>0.0980moles</em>

NH₃: 0.0890 moles + 0.0090 moles = <em>0.0800moles</em>

As total volume is 287.00mL + 1.50mL = 288.50mL (0.28850L), concentrations are:

NH₄⁺: 0.0980moles / 0.28850L = 0.340M

NH₃: 0.0800moles / 0.28850L = 0.277M

Oxalic acid can remove rust (fe2o3) caused by bathtub rings according to the reaction fe2o3(s) + 6h2c2o4(aq) → 2fe(c2o4)33−(aq)
Lena [83]
<span>1.87 grams Looking at the balanced equation, it indicates that for every mole of rust as a reactant, you need 6 moles of oxalic acid. So let's see how many moles of oxalic acid we have by multiplying the molarity of the solution by the quantity. 7.00x10^2 ml / 1000 ml/l * 0.100 M = 7.00x10^-2 mol So the number of moles of rules that can be converted is 7.00x10^-2 mol / 6 = 1.17x10^-2 mol Now determine the molar mass of Fe2O3. Atomic weight iron = 55.845 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass Fe2O3 = 2 * 55.845 + 3 * 15.999 = 159.687 g/mol Mass Fe2O3 = 159.687 g/mol * 1.17x10^-2 mol = 1.87 g So the amount of rust that can be removed is 1.87 grams.</span>
