Answer:

[Na]^+ [Cl]^-

Explanation:

Lets say its sodium, its number of electrons is 11, but when its stable (an ion), it is 10. and chloride, number of electrons is 17, but when its stable (an ion) it is 18. So the lewis structure for that is, remember with the straight brackets (not sure what it's called, but you know what I mean I guess) its this one: [ ]

Sodium will be + because it has more protons (11-10 = +1), and chloride will be - because it gained an electron, so has more electrons than protons (17-18 = -1)

So the lewis structure would be:

[Na]^+ for sodium

and

[Cl]^- for chlorine

Sodium chloride:

[Na]^+ [Cl]^-

Also just to add, only 1 of each atom (Na and Cl) was needed for the bonding, but if let's say example; 2 Cl was needed to bond with sodium, there would be 2 Cl (same) and 1 Na.

Answer:

Explanation:

when you use punnett squares, you cross the different genes with themselves. if T is in the first box on both sides, the genome will be TT. if the box lines up to tt, it will be tt. the boxes on the left use the genes' first letter and the boxes on the right use the second letter.

During the combustion of 2.00 g of coal, the temperature of 500 g of water inside the calorimeter increased from 25.0°c to 43.7°

pantera1 [17]

Answer is: 39,083kJ.
m(coal) = 2,00g.
m(water) = 500g.
ΔT = 43,7°C - 25°C = 18,7°C, difference at temperatures.
c(water) = 4,18 J/g·°C, specific heat of water
Q = m(water)·ΔT·c(water), heat of reaction.
Q = 500g·18,7°C·4,18J/g·°C.
Q = 39083J = 39,083kJ.

What combination of forces was the closest match? Why?

Virty [35]

Answer: COMBINED FORCES

When forces act in the same direction, they combine to make a bigger force. When they act in opposite directions, they can cancel one another out. If the forces acting on an object balance, the object does not move, but may change shape.

A buffer solution is composed of 4.00 4.00 mol of acid and 3.25 3.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a pKa of the acid is

Reika [66]

Answer: The pH of the buffer is 4.61

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})$
