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

What is the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving<br>0.8 g NaOH in water to make 200 mL solution?​
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

pH>7

Explanation:

bases tend to increase the pH of a solution. since water has the pH of 7 and NaOH has pHof 14, the overall pH of solution will increase.

When the surface water temperature is still well below the water boiling temperature, some bubbles at the bottom tend to float u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.

Explanation:

Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.
