This structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons

We employ the octet rule, which states that all atoms in a compound are expected to follow, to check the accuracy of any chemical structure. The octet rule is precisely satisfied for each atom in the depicted structure of carbon IV oxide. The valence shell of each atom in the molecule is surrounded by eight electrons. We may thus infer that this structure is accurate given the total number of bonds and electrons since CO2 has sixteen valence electrons.

It possesses a negative charge of 1.602176634 coulombs, the basic unit of electric charge, which is comparable to its negative charge. The rest mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 10^-31 kg, or just 1/1,836 the mass of a proton. An electron is therefore considered to have practically negligible mass in comparison to a proton or neutron, and its matter is not taken into consideration when calculating an atom's mass number.

How many liters of 1.2M solution can be prepared with 0.50 moles of C6H12O6

BigorU [14]

First you need to know the molecular weight of sugar (C6H12O6) which is 180.156g/mol
You have half a mole so you have 90.078g
If you wanted to make 1L of a 1.2M solution of glucose you would need 180.156*1.2=216.1872g
But you only have 90.078g
So you need to figure out how much this 90.078g will make if the solution must be 1.2M:
90.078g/216.1872g=xL/1L
solve for the X and you get 0.416666666...
so 416.7ml or 0.417L

In an acid-base titration experiment, 50 mL of a 0.05 M solution of acetic acid (Ka= 1.75 x 10-5 ) was titrated with a 0.05M sol

Viktor [21]

Answer:

(3) 5.36

Explanation:

Since this is a titration of a weak acid before reaching equivalence point, we will have effectively a buffer solution. Then we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to answer this question.

The reaction is:

HAc + NaOH ⇒ NaAc + H₂O

V NaOH = 40 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.040 L

mol NaOH reacted with HAc = 0.040 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.002 mol

mol HAC originally present = 0.050 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.0025 mol

mol HAc left after reaction = 0.0025 - 0.002 = 0.0005

Now that we have calculated the quantities of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer, we just plug the values into the equation

pH = pKa + log ((Ac⁻)/(HAc))

(Notice we do not have to calculate the molarities of Ac⁻ and HAc because the volumes cancel in the quotient)

pH = -log (1.75 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.002/0.0005) = 5.36

THe answer is 5.36

We dissolve 93 grams of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in 20 grams of water. What is the percent by mass of sodium sulfate in this solu

dlinn [17]

It should be for the total solution of 93 plus 20 grams which is 113 grams so 93 divided by 113 grams comes to 82.3% sodium sulfate and this can be checked by multiplying 113 grams by 0.823 which results in 93 grams of sodium sulphate.

At a consent tempture the pressure on a 2.5 l ballon is increased from 2.4 atm to 5.8 atm. what is the new volume?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1.034 L

Explanation:

P1 V1 = P2 V2

P1 V1 / P2 = V2

2.4 (2.5) / 5.8 = V2 = 1.034 L
