How many electrons do silicon and oxygen atoms need to form octets?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

We convert two lone pairs of electrons from each oxygen atom to a covalent bond, as seen in the SiO2 Lewis dot structure. As a result, the valence shells of both silicon and oxygen have eight electrons.

How many equivalent lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in no2cl?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two".

Explanation:

The main bondings that has an effect in a Lewis structure in NO2Cl are the double bondings occurring between the Oxygen atoms and the Nitrogen atom. Since the NO2Cl compound has two oxygen atoms attached to the nitrogen atom, two equivalent lewis structures will be necessary to describe it. I attached an example of two equivalent Lewis structure corresponding to a NO2 molecule.

You have 15 grams of ice at 0°C. How much energy is needed to melt the ice and warm it to 25°C. Ice melts at 0°C. The specific h
azamat

Answer:

d. 1600 calories

Explanation:

The heat of fusion of water, L, is the amount of heat per gram required to melt the ice to water, a process which takes place at a constant temperature of 0 °C. The specific heat of water, c, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

We will convert the units of c from Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹ to cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹ since the answers are provided in calories. The conversion factor is 4.18 J/cal.

(4.18 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹)(cal/4.18J) = 1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹

First we calculate the heat required to melt the ice, where M is the mass:

Q = ML = (15 g)(80 cal/g) = 1200 cal

Then, we calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 25 °C.

Q = mcΔt = (15 g)(1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹)(25 °C - 0 °C) = 380 cal

The answer is rounded so that there are two significant figures

The total heat required for this process is (1200 cal + 380 cal) = 1580 cal

The rounded answer is 1600 calories.

When optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone is treated with either aqueous base or acid, racemization occurs. Explain.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Racemization is said to occur when a 1:1 ratio of (+) and (-) enantiomers of a compound are produced in a reaction.

The reaction of optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone with either aqueous base or acid leads to the formation of a planar enol species for reaction with acid and a planar enolate species for reaction with base.

Both reactions involves the formation of achiral species which reverts back to the chiral product with equal chances of the formation of both enantiomers of the product during the process. This leads to racemization of the product in both cases.
