Answer:

Option A. 0

Explanation:

To know the number of lone pair on each H in NH3, we shall determine how NH3 is formed. This is illustrated below:

3H + N —> NH3

Three atoms of Hydrogen, H reacted with 1 atom of nitrogen to produce ammonia, NH3. Each atoms contribute one electron each to form the covalent bond in NH3.

Hydrogen has only one electron and it will share it with the nitrogen atom to produce ammonia.

Further details can be seen in the attached photo.

Further more, in the attached photo, we can see that there is no lone pair of electron in the hydrogen atom as all it's electron has been used to form bond with the nitrogen atom. Only the nitrogen has a lone pair of electron.

Therefore, there are zero lone pair of electron on each hydrogen, H atom in ammonia, NH3.

How many atoms of zinc are in 6.05 moles of zinc

stiv31 [10]

As we know that one mole contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles. And the number of particles are related to moles as,

# of Particles = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ particles

In case of Zinc atoms,

# of Atoms = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

Putting value of moles.

# of Atoms = 6.05 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

# of Atoms = 3.64 × 10²⁴ Atoms

A cylinder is filled with 10.0 L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 273. kPa.

Ann [662]

P2 = 54.6 kPa

Explanation:

Given:

V1 = 10.0 L. V2 = 50.0 L

P1 = 273 kPa. P2 = ?

We can use Boyle's law to solve this problem.

P1V1 = P2V2

Solving for P2,

P2 = (V1/V2)P1

= (10.0 L/50.0 L)(273 kPa)

= 54.6 kPa

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w

Fed [463]

Answer:

Density = 8.92 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density shows the relation of the mass and volume of a determined object. We have this deffinition:

Density = mass / volume

First of all, we calcualte the volume of the block of copper metal, with the data given:

8.4 cm . 5.5 cm . 4.6 cm = 212.52 cm³

Now we replace at the density formula:

Density = 1896 g /212.52 cm³ = 8.92 g/cm³
