Answer:

i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.

Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO

So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)

to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:

2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)

Answer : 51.8 g of nitrogen are needed to produce 100 grams of ammonia gas.

Solution : Given,

Mass of $NH_3$ = 100 g

Molar mass of $NH_3$ = 27 g/mole

Molar mass of $N_2$ = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate moles of $NH_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }NH_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }NH_3}= \frac{100g}{27g/mole}=3.7moles$

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

From the given reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of $NH_3$ produced from 1 mole of $N_2$

3.7 moles of $NH_3$ produced from $\frac{1mole}{2mole}\times 3.7mole=1.85moles$ of $N_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $N_2$ .

Mass of $N_2$ = Moles of $N_2$ × Molar mass of $N_2$

Mass of $N_2$ = 1.85 mole × 28 g/mole = 51.8 g

Therefore, 51.8 g of nitrogen are needed to produce 100 grams of ammonia gas.

Is the process by which new mineral grains larger than the original mineral grains form as a result of metamorphic heat?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Recrystallization is when new mineral grains form as a result of metarmorphic heat that are larger than the original mineral grains.
Recrystallization is a metamorphic process that occurs under situations of intense temperature and pressure where grains, atoms or molecules of a rock or mineral are packed closer together, creating a new crystal structure.
