Since it has 4 electrons, it needs only 4 more to be stable. Therefore, it would share electrons, which is a covalent bond. 

Answer: Covalent bond

How many grams of Pb are contained in a mixture of 0.135 kg each of PbCl(OH) and Pb2Cl2CO3?
Dahasolnce [82]

Hey there!:

Given the mass of PbCl(OH) :

0.135 Kg = 0.135 Kg*(1000g / 1Kg)  = 135 g

Molecular mass of PbCl(OH)  = 207+35.5+16+1  = 259.5 g / mol

Atomic mass of Pb = 207 g/mol

Hence mass of Pb in 135 g  PbCl(OH)  :

(207 g Pb /  259.5 g PbClOH) * 135g PbClOH  =

0.79768 * 135 =>  107.68 g of Pb

For Pb2Cl2CO3  :

Given the mass of Pb2Cl2CO3  :

0.135 Kg = 0.135 Kgx(1000g / 1Kg)  = 135 g

Molecular mass of Pb2Cl2CO3  = 2*207+2*35.5+12+3*16  = 545 g / mol

Mass of Pb present in 1 mol (=545 g / mol) of Pb2Cl2CO3  = 2*207 = 414 g

Hence mass of Pb in 135 g  Pb2Cl2CO3:

(414 g Pb /  545 g PbClOH) * 135g PbClOH  =

0.75963 * 135 => 102.55 g of Pb2Cl2CO3


Hope that helps!

For the diprotic weak acid h2a, ka1 = 3.2 × 10-6 and ka2 = 6.1 × 10-9. what is the ph of a 0.0650 m solution of h2a? what are th
Stolb23 [73]
Given:

Diprotic weak acid H2A:
 
Ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6
Ka2 = 6.1 x 10^-9. 
Concentration = 0.0650 m 

Balanced chemical equation:

H2A ===> 2H+  + A2- 
0.0650       0        0
-x                2x       x
------------------------------
0.065 - x     2x      x

ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6 = [2x]^2 * [x] / (0.065 - x)

solve for x and determine the concentration at equilibrium.

State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period
qwelly [4]

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.


From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.

Explain how the copper could be in the lake sample near the picnic area but not have been detected by this test.
Masja [62]

Answer:

May be the instrument is incorrect or may be error in it.

Explanation:

The copper have not been detected by this test because the test may be not for the detection of copper, may be it is used for identification of another minerals. If there is copper in the lake sample but can't be detected in the test so it means that the instrument which is used for detection is not the right one  or having error in that instrument. Every mineral has a specific type of instrument that detect its presence, if we use incorrect instrument for the mineral then we can't detect the presence of that specific mineral.
