Answer : The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : It is defined as when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn, the molecule or ion is said to have resonance.

Resonance is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure.

First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $SCN$

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, carbon has '6' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SCN$ = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 7 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.

In SCN, carbon atom is the central atom and sulfur and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.

The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

Calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid in the total volume you used in the lab (i.e., 8.00 mL). Hint: Use the methodolog

Answer:

0.147 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the volumetric concentration (Cv)

We will use the following expression.

Cv = Cg × ρ

Cv = 98.0 g%g × 1.84 g/mL = 180 g%mL

Step 2: Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid

We will use the following expression.

M = mass solute / molar mass solute × liters of solution

M = 180 g / 98.08 g/mol × 0.100 L = 18.4 M

Step 3: Calculate the moles of solute in 8.00 mL of solution

8.00 × 10⁻³ L × 18.4 mol/L = 0.147 mol

What does conserving mass mean in a chemical equation?

lubasha [3.4K]

The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.

Please help!!!!

Answer 1) Option D : Discrete

Explanation : As in the example the scientist studies about the effects of growing human populations on the biodiversity which is found in a region, and where each region was selected had a different population density of humans from 1 to 10 million per 10 square miles. Then in each region the number of different species that can be found was recorded. So here the numerical data was collected for different regions. So, we can conclude it as discrete because when the variable takes on a countable number of values it is called as discrete.

Answer 2) Option D : The entertainment industry

Explanation : When people had enough time and money with them there was no need of creating the communications industry as it was a need not a luxurious thing. With the creation of Internet industry it is somewhat irrelevant. They had enough of time and money so building a labor industry seems to be a lame choice. So, the option of entertainment industry suits the best.
