Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

b) 49.48% C, 5.19% H, 28.85% N, and 16.48% O

Explanation:

we find the mass for each element in one mole by multiplying the number of atoms in one molecule with the atomic mass

mC=8Ac=8*12=96g

mH=10AH=10*1=10g

mN=4AN=4*14=56g

mO=2AO=2*16=32g

by adding the masses together we find the molar mass of the molecule

M=mC+nH+mN+mO=96+10+56+32=194g/mole

we apply the rule of threes to find the percentage of each element

194g..96gC..10gH...56gN....32gO

100g....a...........b...........c.............d

a=(100*96)/194=49.48%C

b=(100*10)/194=5.19%H

c=(100*56)/194=28.85%N

d=(100*32)/194=16.48%O

7.5 moles of nitrogen gas (N2) is formed in the following reaction. How many grams
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Mass = 255 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of nitrogen = 7.5 mol

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + N₂      →    2NH₃

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen and ammonia.

             N₂         :        NH₃

               1          :         2

              7.5       :       2/1×7.5 = 15

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 15 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 255 g

According to the VSEPR theory, which of the following factors determines the shape of a
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

B only

Explanation:

Using the VSEPR principle, the electron bond pairs and the lone pairs on the middle atom help us predict the structure of the molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the position of the nucleus and its electrons. The electrons and the nucleus settle in positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.
