Answer:

The nitro group is an ambident group and is capable of getting attached to carbon chain through nitrogen. as well as through oxygen (-O - N = O) atom. The compound in which the -NO2 group is linked to the alkyl or aryl group through oxygen atom are called nitrites

Answer:

It can bond through either the N or O atoms  

Explanation:

An ambident ("both teeth") group is a group that can attach to another by either of two atoms.

A nitro group can bond through either N or O.

Organic chemistry

In organic chemistry, this property gives rise to functional group isomers.

For example, we can have either nitromethane (CH₃NO₂, Fig. 1) or methyl nitrite (CH₃ONO, Fig. 2)

Inorganic chemistry

The ambidentate property of the nitro group gives rise to linkage isomers in inorganic coordination complexes.

For example, we can have either a pentachloronitroiron(III) cation (Fig. 3) or a pentachloronitritoiron(III) cation (Fig. 4)

Use the balanced equation given below to solve the problem that follows: Calculate the mass in grams of water produced along wit
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: 1.98 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given volume}}{\text{Molar volume}}  

\text{Moles of} CO_2=\frac{5.0L}{22.4L}=0.22moles

The balanced given equation is:

C_2H_2(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

4 moles of CO_2 will produce =  2 moles of H_2O

Thus 0.22 moles of CO_2 will produce=\frac{2}{4}\times 0.22=0.11moles  of H_2O

Mass of H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.11moles\times 18g/mol=1.98g

Thus 1.98 g of water is produced along with 5.0 L of CO_2 at STP

A piece of an unknown substance weighing 124.0 grams is heated in boiling water to 100.0oc. when the substance is placed in a ca
MakcuM [25]

The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J

The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:

7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat

specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C
