Answer:
Explanation:
Public tap water is not desirable when carrying out experiments in the laboratory.
The chemical definition of water is a compound made up of two atoms of hydrogen to 1 atom of oxygen. Any violation simply desist from the true meaning of water.
Why are tap water not used:
- They contain other dissolved ions like chlorine which have been added in their treatment. This alters the fundamental molecules that is expected to be seen in water. Water of this nature can affect experimental results seriously.
- Tap water can become a mixture instead of a simple compound. A mixture is a combination of several compounds. Such water will have a varied composition and make simplification of experiments very difficult.
The color it produces is Bright green.
The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
The CaCO3 produced if 47.5 moles of NH3 produced is calculated as follows
CaCN2 +3H2O = CaCO3 + 2NH3
by use of mole ratio between CaCO3 to NH3 which is 1:2 the moles of CaCO3 is therefore = 47.5 /2= 23.75 moles
mass of CaCO3 is therefore = moles x molar mass
= 23.75 moles x 100g/mol= 2375 grams which is approximate 2380 grams(answer 6)
