OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are Lewis acids whereas, Mg²⁺ is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are electron deficient whereas, Mg²⁺ donates the electrons to other species present in the reaction.
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

To determine the concentration of SO4 2– ion in a sample of groundwater, 100.0 mL of the sample is titrated with 0.0250 M Ba(NO3
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1.87x10⁻³ M SO₄²⁻

Explanation:

The reaction of SO₄²⁻ with Ba²⁺ (From Ba(NO₃)₂) is:

SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) → BaSO₄(s)

<em>Where 1 mole of  SO₄²⁻ reacts per mole of Ba²⁺</em>

<em />

To reach the end point in this titration, we need to add the same moles of Ba²⁺ that the moles that are of SO₄²⁻.

Thus, to find molarity of SO₄²⁻ we need to find first the moles of Ba²⁺ added (That will be the same of SO₄²⁻). And as the volume of the initial sample was 100mL we can find molarity (As ratio of moles of SO₄²⁻ per liter of solution).

<em>Moles Ba²⁺:</em>

7.48mL = 7.48x10⁻³L ₓ (0.0250moles / L) = 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of Ba²⁺ = Moles of SO₄²⁻

<em>Molarity SO₄²⁻:</em>

As there are 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ in 100mL = 0.1L, molarity is:

1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ / 0.1L =

<h3> 1.87x10⁻³ M SO₄²⁻</h3>

How many atoms of oxygen (O) are in one formula unit of Mg(NO3)2?
miv72 [106K]
We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
