Diazomethane has the molecular formula CH2N2. Draw the preferred Lewis structure for diazomethane and assign formal charges to a
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
We define the formal charge on an atom in a molecule as the charge it carries assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds of the molecule were shared equally between atoms irrespective of the electronegativity of each atom.
The formula for calculating the formal charge on an atom in a molecule is;
Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on neutral atom] – [(number of lone electron pairs) + (½ number of bonding electrons)] ·
The formal charge on the two nitrogen atoms in diazomethane is obtained as follows;
Middle nitrogen atom = 5 – 8/2 – 0 = +1
Last nitrogen atom = 5 – 4/2 – 4 = –1
The Lewis structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached.

Answer:
d. To the left because Q > K_p
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the given reaction:
The pressure-based equilibrium expression is:
In such a way, since Kp is given we rather compute the reaction quotient at the specificed pressure of carbon dioxide as shown below:
Therefore, since Q>Kp we can see that there are more products than reactants, which means that the reaction must shift leftwards towards the reactants in order to reestablish equilibrium, thus, answer is d. To the left because Q > Kp.
Regards.
