Question

Draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2 (Xe in middle, surrounded by I's ) that puts a 0 formal charge on all atoms. How many lone pairs (unshared pairs) are on the central atom? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) A 0.3876 gram sample of a gaseous compound occupies 142 mL at 150 degrees C and 775 torr. What is the molar mass of the compound? Assume ideal behavior. M = dRT/P M = molar mass Hint: you must convert torr to atm 760 torr = 1 atm Hint: you must convert oC to K by adding 273 Hint: you must convert mL to L

Answer 1

1) The Lewis structure will be:

Xe

|

I--I

In this structure, the xenon atom is surrounded by two iodine atoms, which are bonded to it through single bonds. Each iodine atom has one lone pair of electrons, for a total of 2 lone pairs on the central atom (xenon).

2) The molar mass of the gaseous compound is 0.416 g/mol.

To draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2, we need to first count the number of valence electrons in the molecule. Xenon is a noble gas and has 8 valence electrons, while iodine has 7 valence electrons for a total of 23 valence electrons. To satisfy the octet rule and put a 0 formal charge on all atoms, we can use the following Lewis structure:

I--I

To find the molar mass of the gaseous compound, we can use the ideal gas law:

M = dRT/P

Where M is the molar mass, d is the density, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, and P is the pressure.

Given that the density of the gas is 0.3876 grams/142 mL = 0.002736 grams/mL, the temperature is 150 + 273 = 423 K, the pressure is 775 torr = 775/760 atm = 1.0132 atm, and the ideal gas constant is 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K.

We can calculate the molar mass as follows:

M = (0.002736 g/mL) * (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K / (1.0132 atm)) * (423 K)

M = 0.416 g/mol
