Given the following Babnced equation 4NH3 +5O2>

igor_vitrenko [27]

4NH3 + 5O2 ==> 4NO + 6H2O Balanced equation
ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base

Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept a proton $\text{H}^{+}$ and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$ in a reaction.

Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$

Ammonium ions ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ are positive. Protons $\text{H}^{+}$ are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.
