According to Coulomb's Law, as the atomic number increases within a series of atoms, the nuclear attraction for electrons will also increase, thus pulling the electron(s) closer to the nucleus.

1) How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0° C and 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg?

RSB [31]

Answer : The number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = $1.00\times 10^{-6}mmHg=1.32\times 10^{-9}atm$ (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 985 mL = 0.982 L (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $0.0^oC=273+0.0=273K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$(1.32\times 10^{-9}atm)\times 0.982L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 273K$

$n=5.78\times 10^{-11}mol$

Now we have to calculate the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ gas contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $5.78\times 10^{-11}$ mole of $N_2$ gas contains $(5.78\times 10^{-11})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.48\times 10^{13}$ number of molecules

Therefore, the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Aqueous acetic acid is neutralized by aqueous barium hydroxide. express your answer as a balanced molecular equation. identify a

Studentka2010 [4]

The balanced molecular equation for the given reaction is:

$2CH_3COOH(aq) \ + \ Ba(OH)_2(aq) \rightarrow \ Ba(CH_3COO)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l).$

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

To check that the equation is balanced count how many atoms are present for each element in the reactant and product side. If they are the same before and after reaction for all elements, then the reaction is deemed balanced.

The atom counting for the equation is shown below:

$2CH_3COOH(aq) \ + \ Ba(OH)_2(aq) \rightarrow \ Ba(CH_3COO)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l).$

<u>Reactants </u> → <u>Products</u>

C: (2 x 2) =4 C: (2 x 2) = 4

H: (2 x 4) + (1 x 2) =10 H: (3 x 2) + (2 X 2) = 10

O: (2 x 2) + (1 x 2) = 6 O: (2 x 2) + (2 x 1) = 6

Ba: 1 Ba: 1

Since the number of atoms of each element are similar in the reactants and products, the equation is balanced.

To determine the state of the substances, consider their solubility.

The reactants are both aqueous (aq) as indicated in the problem.

The first product, $Ba(CH_3COO)_2$ is aqueous (aq) because based on the solubility rule, it will dissolve in water. Acetates are generally soluble.
