The lone pair of electrons in ammonia allows the molecule to: A.assume a planar structure. B.act as an oxidizing agent. C.act as a Lewis acid in water. D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The correct option is: D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Explanation:    

Ammonia is a hydride of nitrogen with the chemical formula NH₃. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal structure.  

In water, ammonia acts as a Lewis base due to the presence of lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Lewis bases are electron pair or lone pair donors.

Give an advantage and disadvantage of nuclear energy

Answers

One advantage is that is another source that we can rely on that is not fossil fuels. Depending on how much your country has it can increase its revenue and it provides jobs since those facilities have to be closely monitored.. One disadvantage is the harmful effects a spill can cause an environment/ecosystem.

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state?(1) 2–8–1 (3) 2–8–17–6(2) 2–8–6 (4) 2–8–18–5

Answers

Answer is: (3) 2–8–17–6.

1) This is ground state of sodum atom.

Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.  

Atomic number of sodium is 11, it means that it has 11 protons and 11 electrons, so atom of sodium is neutral.  

2) This is ground state of sulfur atom.

Sulfur electron configuration: ₁₆S 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴.


Sulfur has six valence electrons (3s²3p⁴), in 3s orbital, two electrons are paired, in 3p orbital, two electrons are paired and two are unpaired.

4) This is ground state of arsenic atom.

Electron configuration of arsenic atom:

₃₃As 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³.

Electron configuration represents an excited state : (3) 2–8–17–6

Further explanation

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub shell is

  • s: 2 electrons
  • p: 6 electrons
  • d: 10 electrons and
  • f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub shell uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

Determination of electron configurations based on principles:

  • 1. Aufbau: Electrons occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level
  • 2 Hund: electrons fill orbitals with the same energy level
  • 3. Pauli: no electrons have the same 4 quantum numbers

According to Niels Bohr, electrons surround the nucleus of an atom on a path called the electron shell. Each shell has an energy level. The further from the core, the higher the energy level

Maximum electrons of shells :

  • K shell: 2 electrons
  • L shell: 8 electrons
  • M shell: 18 electrons
  • N shell: 32 electrons
  • O shell: 50 electrons
  • P shell: 72 electrons

The maximum number of electrons in each shell can be formulated = 2n² (n = shell number)

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions :

Ground state is the state of electrons filling skins with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupy a higher energy level

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterwards

From the electron configuration , option 3 shows the excitation of one electron in the M shell towards the N shell, which should have a configuration in the ground state:

2–8–18–5

An experiment produced 0.10 g CO2, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of CO2 at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is the approximate percent error?

Answers

According to the accepted density of CO2, we can get that 0.10 g CO2 has a volume of 0.10/1.96=0.051 L (theoretical value). The percent error = (0.056 - 0.051)/0.051 * 100% = 9.80%.

Hyperinflation can occur whenconsumers show an interest in purchasing more goods.

producers need more money to make and distribute goods.

companies raise prices to pass on costs to consumers.

the government prints more money and pushes prices up.

Answers

Hyperinflation can occur when the government prints more money and pushes prices up. Hence option d is correct.

What is hyperinflation?

Hyperinflation is defined as based on a price growth threshold of, by one definition, 50% each month, and, by another, 1000% per year. If hyperinflation continues, people start to store perishable goods like milk and bread. The economy crumbles as these requirements become scarcer and more expensive. People lose savings as cash loses value.

Hyperinflation is caused by a country's money supply growing quickly, frequently as a result of a government creating more and more currency. As more cash is made available, the value of each unit decreases, driving up costs. Money loses value when prices rise too much because it has less purchasing power due to inflation.

Thus, hyperinflation can occur when the government prints more money and pushes prices up. Hence option d is correct.

Hyperinflation can occur when the government prints more money and pushes prices up.

If there are excessive and uncontrolled price increases in any economy, such economy will face situation called Hyperinflation.

in other words, any economy where the prices of goods and services have risen more than 50 percent a month over a certain period of time will experience hyperinflation.

Further Explanation

Hyperinflation can occur if there is excess money in circulation. It commonly occurs when an economy is facing serious depression

Depression can be described as a period of a prolonged contracting economy. Any country facing a period of prolonged contracting economy will experience a negative growth rate.A good example of a negative growth rate is Recession.

Depression can last for many years and always result in the following:

  • High unemployment rate
  • Less lending
  • A decrease in productive output
  • Company liquidating
  • Personal bankruptcies

Effects of hyperinflation

Hyperinflation will result in the devaluation of a country currency in the foreign exchange market and this will make the people minimize the holdings of the local currency and switching to more stable foreign currencies.

However, hyperinflation at some point occurred in some countries' economies.

Some of these countries include

  • Argentina
  • Hungary
  • Germany
  • Russia
  • China

methane and hydrogen sulfide form when hydrogen reacts with carbon disulfide. identify the excess reactant and calculate how much remains after 36 L o fH2 reacts with 12 L of CS2 all at STP

Answers

At STP, 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume. Using this conversion we the starting amounts of the reactants:
1.6071 mol H2
.5357 mol CS2
The balanced equation is:
4H2 + CS2 -> CH4 + 2H2S
This means that 4 moles of H2 reacts with 1 mole of CS2.
Multiplying this ratio with each of the amounts of the reactants:
required CS2 based on amount of H2 = 0.4018 mol CS2
required H2 based on amount of CS2 = 2.1428 mol H2
Therefore, the excess reactant is CS2. To calculate how much is left, we simply subtract the amount of the reactant CS2 with the required amount based on the amount of H2:
0.5357 mol - 0.4018 mol = 0.1339 mol
