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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]2 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

Distillation is used to separate _____.
Art [367]
Distillation is the process of separating homogeneous mixtures -and  a solution is a homogenous mixture, so this is the correct answer!

A homoogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the elements are mixed so well, that the mixture has a similar composition in all its parts. A heat can be applied to this mixture then to separate the parts - this is destination!

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)=4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
balandron [24]

The volume of ethyne, C₂H₂ required to produce 12 moles of CO₂ assuming the reaction is at STP is 134.4 L

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) --> 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C₂H₂ needed to produce 12 moles of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

Therefore,

12 moles of CO₂ will be produce by = (12 × 2) / 4 = 6 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the volume (in L) of C₂H₂ needed at STP</h3>

At standard temperature and pressure (STP),

1 mole of C₂H₂ = 22.4 L

Therefore,

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 6 × 22.4

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 134.4 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of C₂H₂ needed for the reaction at STP is 134.4 L

covalent bond would be formed in which pair of elements? Carbon and oxygen, any two noble gasses, sodium and chlorine , between
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Carbon and Oxygen, Argon and Helium.

Explanation:

noble gases have full outer shells of electrons, and so cannot share other atoms' electrons to form bonds. sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
