Answer: the unshared pair of electrons on the nitrogen can accept a proton

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Amines have a general molecular formula of RNH_2 which has lone pair of electrons on nitrogen and thus is able to donate electrons to a lewis acid which is short of electrons. In other words nitrogen can accept a proton.

RNH_2+H^+\rightarrow RNH_3^+

The density of the hydrocarbon in part (a) is 2.0 g l-1 at 50°c and 0.948atm. (i) calculate the molar mass of the hydrocarbon. (
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

1. Answer;

=56 g/mol

Explanation and solution;

PV = nRT

nRT= mass/molar mass (RT)

molar mass = (mass/V ) × (RT/P)

                   = Density × (RT/P)

Molar mass = 2.0 g/L × (0.0821 × 323 K)/0.948 atm

Molar mass = 56 g/mol


2. Answer;

Molecular mass is C4H8

Explanation;

Empirical mass × n = molar mass

Empirical mass for CH2 = 14 g/mol

Therefore;

56 g/mol = 14 g/mol × n

   n = 4

The molecular formula= 4(CH2)

    = C4H8

Please help!!<br><br>Show the electronic configuration of magnesium atom​.
Galina-37 [17]

Explanation:

Magnesium has atomic number 12. It will be distributed in K, L, M shell in the following way:

K shell can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons.

L shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons and

M shell will accommodate 2 electrons

So the configuration becomes 2, 8,3
