Account for the difference in the shape and color of the potential maps for ammonia and the ammonium ion.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

The difference between the two of them will be considered from their electrostatic potential maps.

First of all the major difference is that ammonia molecule(NH3) has a lone lone pair of electron on the N atom.

Due to the this lone pair of electron on the N - atom of ammonia, it's bond angle will be slightly lesser than that of ammonium ion.

Therefore, In the electrostatic potential map of NH3, the charge distribution will not be symmetrical for the fact that there is electron rich N atom and so the N atom will be more red than the 3 hydrogen atoms (H atoms).

Whereas, the electrostatic potential map of NH4+ (ammonium ion) will be symmetrical due to the even/symmetrical distribution of all the 4 hydrogen atoms surrounding the central Nitrogen atom.

Also, the Nitrogen atom here in ammonium ion will have a lower electron density than the Nitrogen atom that's present in ammonia molecule due to the bonding existing between the lone pair electron and the Hydrogen atom

Compared to ultraviolet light, an electromagnetic wave that has a higher frequency will also have ________.
Nikitich [7]
  • The answer is shorter wavelength and equal speed.                        

That is, compared to ultraviolet light, an electromagnetic wave that has a higher frequency will also have shorter wavelength and equal speed.

This can be seen by the reaction given below:

 h\times \upsilon =\frac{c}{\lambda }

h= Planck's constant

c=speed of the light

 \upsilon=frquency

{\lambda }=wavelength

So, higher is the frequency, lesser is the volume while speed remains constant as c is speed of light.

Formula of a copper (II)sulfate hydrate lab
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Weigh the empty crucible, and then weigh into it between 2 g and 3 g of hydrated copper(II) sulphate. Record all weighings accurate to the nearest 0.01 g.

Support the crucible securely in the pipe-clay triangle on the tripod over the Bunsen burner.

Heat the crucible and contents, gently at first, over a medium Bunsen flame, so that the water of crystallisation is driven off steadily. The blue colour of the hydrated compound should gradually fade to the greyish-white of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. Avoid over-heating, which may cause further decomposition, and stop heating immediately if the colour starts to blacken. If over-heated, toxic or corrosive fumes may be evolved. A total heating time of about 10 minutes should be enough.

Allow the crucible and contents to cool. The tongs may be used to move the hot crucible from the hot pipe-clay triangle onto the heat resistant mat where it should cool more rapidly.

Re-weigh the crucible and contents once cold.

Calculation:

Calculate the molar masses of H2O and CuSO4 (Relative atomic masses: H=1, O=16, S=32, Cu=64)

Calculate the mass of water driven off, and the mass of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed in your experiment

Calculate the number of moles of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed

Calculate the number of moles of water driven off

Calculate how many moles of water would have been driven off if 1 mole of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate had been formed

Write down the formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate.

The nature of zinc powder and Cobalt (II )oxide is heated the following reaction occurs ;
Scilla [17]

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is \mathrm{Zn}.

2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.
