When crystals of calcium nitrate(V), Ca(NO3)2 4H20 are heated, they decompose to produce steam, nitrogen (IV) oxide, oxygen and calcium oxide.
2Ca(NO3)2.4H20 (s) → 2CaO (s) + 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g) + 8H20 (g)
In experiment,3.54 g of Ca(NO3)2 4H20 was heated until it decomposed
completely
a) Calculate the number of moles of Ca(NO3)2 4H2O present in 3.54 g of the
crystals.
b) Calculate the mass of steam produced
c) Calculate the volume of O2 gas that evolved at s. tp

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next
