- The chemistry of the nitrite ion and HNO2: (a) Two resonance structures are possible for NO2. Draw these structures, and then find the formal charge on each atom in each resonance structure. (b) In forming the acid HNO2 an H+ ion attaches to the O atom and not the N atom of NO2. Explain why you would predict this result. (c) Two resonance structures are possible for HNO2. Draw these structures, and then find the formal charge on each atom in each resonance structure. Is either of these structures strongly preferred over the other?arrow_forwardAcrolein is used to make plastics. Suppose this compound can be prepared by inserting a carbon monoxide molecule into the CH bond of ethylene. (a) Which is the stronger carbon-carbon bond in acrolein? (b) Which is the longer carbon-carbon bond in acrolein? (c) Is ethylene or acrolein polar? (d) Use bond dissociation enthalpies to predict whether the reaction of CO with C2H4 to give acrolein is endothermic or exothermic.arrow_forwardPhosgene, Cl2CO, is a highly toxic gas that was used as a weapon in World War 1. Using the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction of carbon monoxide and chlorine to produce phosgene. CO(g) + Cl2(g) Cl2CO(g)arrow_forward
