Answer:

Bacteria are vital in keeping nitrogen cycling through the ecosystem, and nitrogen is vital to plant growth. Without bacteria around to break down biological waste, it would build up. And dead organisms wouldn't return their nutrients back to the system

What is the number of moles in 432g Ba(NO3)2

777dan777 [17]

First there is a need to calculate the molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂:

137.3 + 2 (14.0) + 6 (16) = 261.3 grams/mole

The molar mass, denoted by M in chemistry refers to a physical characteristic illustrated as the mass of a given component divided by the amount of the component. The molar masses are always denoted in grams/mole.

After finding the molar mass, the number of moles can be identified as:

432 grams / 261.3 g/mol = 1.65 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂.

Nitrogen has an average atomic mass of 14.00674. it has two isotopes, n-14 and n-15, with atomic masses of 14.0031 amu and 15.00

masya89 [10]

In this case, we are going to assume that there are 100 atoms to make things easier.

Let R% be the abundance of n-15. With this in mind, we calculate the abundance of n-14 to be 100%-R%

14.0031*(100-R)% + 15.001 * R%= 14.00674
In this case, we can delete or ignore the % sign since we do not want to carry it around, however, we need to keep in mind that the final answer is in %

14.0031*(100-R) + 15.001 * R= 14.00674
1400.31-14.0031R+15.001R=1400.674
0.9979R=0.364
R=0.3648

Then, the abundance of n-15 is 0.3648%

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.

Which statement is NOT a property of unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Ray Of Light [21]

I would pick "<span>Unsaturated hydrocarbons are very reactive." This is because while unsaturated hydrocarbons are indeed more reactive than their saturated counterparts, they still do require some energy, called activation energy, to be overcome before the reactions occur.</span>
