Answer:

3 bonds are needed.

Explanation:

The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those in the outer shell of the highest energy level of the atom. The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is 1s²2s²2p³. That means thy at each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in the 2s orbital and 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. To fullfil the octet, each nitrogen atom needs 3 electrons. So, they can share each other 3 electrons to form 3 simple bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (N₂) has 3 bonds involving 6 bonding electrons or a triple bond.

At a given temperature, 2.6 atm of h2 and 3.14 atm of cl2 are mixed and allowed to come to equilibrium. the equilibrium pressure

Keith_Richards [23]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

H2 = 2.6 atm
CL2 = 3.14 atm

pressure H2 = 2.6 - x
pressure Cl2 = 3.14 - x
pressure HBr = 2x = 1.13

x = 1.13 / 2 = 0.565

pressure H2 = 2.6 - 0.565 = 2.035
pressure Br2 = 3.14 - 0.565 = 2.575

Kp = (1.13)^2 / 2.035 x 2.575

= 1.2769 / (5.240125)

= 0.24367739319195629875241525726963

= 0.244

Therefore, the Kp for the reaction at the given temperature is 0.244.

To add, the hypothetical pressure of a gas if it alone occupied the whole volume of the original mixture at the same temperature is called the partial pressure or Kp.

Barium sulfate is made by the following reaction.

Answer:

%age Yield = 96 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for given double replacement reaction is,

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

Step 1: Calculate moles of Ba(NO₃)₂:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 75.1 g / 261.33 g/mol

Moles = 0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂

Step 2: Find out moles of BaSO₄ formed:

According to balance chemical equation,

1 mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ produced = 1 mole of BaSO₄

So,

0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ will produce = X moles of BaSO₄

Solving for X,

X = 0.2873 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

X = 0.2873 moles of BaSO₄

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Mass of BaSO₄:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.2873 mol × 233.38 g/mol

Mass = 67.07 g of BaSO₄

Step 4: Calculate %age Yield as:

Theoretical Yield = 67.07 g

Actual Yield = 64.4 g

%age Yield = ???

Formula Used:

%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting Values,

%age Yield = (64.4 g ÷ 67.07 g) × 100

%age Yield = 96.01 % ≈ 96 %

Fill in the blanks using terms from this unit.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Even though plants are rooted in the ground, they still move, exert force, and do work.

Plant cells have very strong cell walls that allow pressure to build up inside of the cell as water is absorbed. This pressure is called turgor.

When turgor pressure is high enough in a cell, the cell walls become firm and as a result, the cell becomes rigid and the plant is able to stand tall and straight.

When a plant does not get enough water, the turgor pressure inside of the cells decreases. A decrease in pressure pushing against the cell wall causes the cells to lose their shape and shrink. This causes the plant to begin to droop or wilt.

When the wilted plant gets enough water, the cells will become rigid again, and the plant will stand firm and straight once again.
