The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.

The correct structure is the following:

The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.

A 1.000 g sample of an unknown hydrate of cobalt chloride is gently dehydrated. The resulting mass is 0.546 g. The cobalt is iso

ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the 1 g sample you have:

0.546 grams of cobalt chloride

1-0.546=0.454 grams of water

Now:

1) The salt

Of the 0.546 g, 0.248 g are cobalt (Mr=58.9) and the rest id Cl (Mr=35.45):

$n_{Co}=\frac{0.248 g}{58.9 g/mol}=4.21*10^{-3}mol$

$n_{Cl}=\frac{0.298 g}{35.45g/mol}=8.4*10^{-3}mol$

Dividing:

$\frac{n_{Cl}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{8.4*10^{-3}mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=2$

So the molecular formula will be:

$CoCl_2$

2) The water

The water's molecular weight is M=18 :

$n_{w}=\frac{0.454g}{18g/mol}=0.025 mol$

Bonding with the Co:

$\frac{n_{w}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{0.025mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=6$

The complete formula of the hydrate:

$CoCl_2*6 H_2O$

Which of the graphs below might represent a mixture of pure water and ice exposed to a room temperature of 3°C?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

C. Graph C

Explanation:

We have a mixture of water and ice.

At 0 °C they are at equilibrium.

water-to-ice rate = ice-to-water rate

Next, we lower the temperature to -3 °C — just slightly below freezing.

The water will slowly turn to ice.

The water-to-ice rate will be slightly faster than the ice-to-water rate.

The purple bar will be slightly higher than the blue bar.

Graph C best represents the relative rates

A. is wrong. The ice-to-water rate is faster, so the water is melting. The temperature is slightly above freezing (say, 3 °C).

B. is wrong. The two rates are equal, so the temperature is 0 °C.

D. is wrong. The water-to-ice rate (freezing) is much greater than the ice-to-water rate, so the temperature is well below freezing( say, -10 °C).

A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) contains two polar covalent bonds. Why is the molecule nonpolar?

DaniilM [7]

The molecule is non-polar, because the difference in electronegativity between the two sides of the structure equals 0. The electronegativity difference between O (3.5) and C(2.5) is 1 and also on the other side, cancelling each other.
