Concept explainers
Azo dyes are organic dyes that are used for many applications, such as the coloring of fabrics. Many azo dyes are derivatives of the organic substance azobenzene, Cl2H10N2. A closely related substance is hydrazobenzene, Cl2H12N2. The Lewis structures of these two substances are
(Recall the shorthand notation used for benzene.)
a. What is the hybridization at the N atom in each of the substances?
b. How many unhybridized atomic orbitals are there on the N and the C atoms in each of the substances?
c. Predict the N-N-C angles in each of the substances.
d. Azobenzene is said to have greater delocalization of its p electrons than hydrazobenzene. Discuss this statement in light of your answers to (a) and (b).
e. All the atoms of azobenzene lie in one plane, whereas those of hydrazobenzene do not. Is this observation consistent with the statement in part (d)?
f. Azobenzene is an intense red-orange color, whereas hydrazobenzene is nearly colorless. Which molecule would be a better one to use in a solar energy conversion device? (See the "Chemistry Put to Work" box for more information about solar cells.)

- In the solid state, oxalic acid occurs as a dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4 C+2H2O. Use this formula to calculate the formula weight of oxalic acid. Use the calculated formula weight and the number of moles (0.00504mol) of oxalic acid in each titrated unknown sample recorded in Table 6.4 to calculate the number of grams of pure oxalic acid dihydrate contained in each titrated unknown sample.arrow_forward1. Consider a pair of elements with 2p and 4p valence orbitals (e.g., N and Se). Draw their (2p and 4p AO's) radial probability plots, and sketch their angular profiles. Then, consider these orbitals from the two atoms forming a homonuclear л-bond. Which element would have a stronger bond, and why? (4 points)arrow_forwardWrite the reaction and show the mechanism of the reaction. Include the mechanism for formation of the NO2+ 2. Explain, using resonance structures, why the meta isomer is formed. Draw possible resonance structures for ortho, meta and para.arrow_forward
- Nonearrow_forward3. A molecular form of "dicarbon", C2, can be generated in gas phase. Its bond dissociation energy has been determined at 599 kJ/mol. Use molecular orbital theory to explain why energy of dissociation for C₂+ is 513 kJ/mol, and that for C2² is 818 kJ/mol.
