Answer : A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

Explanation :

According to the Lewis acid-base theory,

Lewis acid : It is a substance that can accepts pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

Lewis-base : It is a substance that can donates pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

For example :

H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O

In this reaction, H^+ ion is Lewis-acid and OH^- ion is a Lewis-base. The OH^- ion donates electrons to H^+ ion to form H_2O.

Hence, a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a Lewis base. It is any substance that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons with no change of oxidation numbers of any atoms.

Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) react to form ammonia (NH3). Consider a mixture of six nitrogen molecules and six hydrogen molec
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

a)  No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to give ammonia molecules is:

N_{2}(g)+3H_{2}(g) -->2NH_{3}

Thus one molecule of nitrogen will react with three molecules of hydrogen to give two molecules of ammonia.

We have six molecules of each nitrogen and hydrogen in the closed container and they undergo complete reaction it means the limiting reagent is hydrogen. For six molecules of nitrogen, eighteen molecules of hydrogen will be required.

So six molecules of hydrogen will react with two molecules of nitrogen to give four molecules of ammonia.

The product mixture will have

a) No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol
