Are the electron geometries of water and ammonia similar?

Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The electron geometries of water and ammonia are both based on a tetrahedron. The central atom in ammonia is nitrogen which is surrounded by four electron pairs; three bond pairs and one lone pair. In water, the central atom is oxygen surrounded by four electron pairs also; two bond pairs and two lone pairs. The presence of four electron pairs on the central atom of each molecule means that their electron geometries are both tetrahedral according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.

However, due to the presence of lone pairs, the molecular geometry of water is bent(angular) while the molecular geometry of ammonia is trigonal pyramidal.

What is the total energy required to break all the bonds in 1 mol propanol,<br> C3H8O?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The total energy to break all the bonds in 1 mole of 1-propanol, C₃H₈O, is 4411 kJ/mol

Explanation:

We note that propanol, C₃H₈O is also known as 1-propanol is written as follows;

CH₃CH₂CH₂OH which gives

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH

Hence, the total number of bonds are;

C-H Bonds = 3 + 2 + 2 = 7

C-O Bonds = 1

O-H Bond = 1

C-C Bonds = 2

The bond energies are as follows;

C-H Bonds = 413 kJ/mol

C-O Bonds = 358 kJ/mol

O-H Bond = 468 kJ/mol

C-C Bonds = 347 kJ/mol

Energy required to break the bonds in 1-propanol is therefore;

C-H Bonds = 413 kJ/mol × 7 = 2,891 kJ/mol

C-O Bonds = 358 kJ/mol × 1 = 358 kJ/mol

O-H Bond = 468 kJ/mol × 1 = 468 kJ/mol

C-C Bonds = 347 kJ/mol × 2 = 694 kJ/mol

The total energy to break all the bonds in 1 mole of 1-propanol = 4411 kJ/mol.

Calculate how many grams of hydrogen can be burned if 40. liters of oxygen at 200. k and 1.0 atm. show work pls.
Wittaler [7]

The grams of hydrogen gas can be burned if 40. liters of oxygen at 200. k and 1.0 atm is 4.88 grams.

<h3>How do we calculate grams from moles?</h3>

Grams (W) of any substance will be calculated by using their moles (n) through the following equation:

  • n = W/M, where

M = molar mass

And moles of the gas will be calculated by using the ideal gas equation as:

  • PV = nRT, where

P = pressure = 1atm

V = volume = 40L

n = moles = ?

R = universal gas constant = 0.082 L.atm / K.mol

T = temperature = 200K

On putting these values on the above equation, we get

n = (1)(40) / (0.082)(200) = 2.439 = 2.44 moles

  • Now grams of hydrogen gas will be calculated by using the first equation as:

W = (2.44mol)(2g/mol) = 4.88g

Hence required mass of hydrogen gas is 4.88g.
