Draw the resonance structures for (SCN)".

Chemistry

Phantasy [73]4 years ago

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.

What is the hydronium ion concentration of a 0.100 M acetic acid solution with Ka = 1.8 × 10-5? The equation for the dissociatio
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1.3×10⁻³ M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of acetic acid:

CH_3CO_2H(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons H_3O^+(aq) + CH_3CO_2^-(aq)

We can write the law of mass action for it:

Ka=\frac{[H_3O^+][CH_3CO_2^-]}{[CH_3CO_2H]}

Of course, excluding the water as heterogeneous substances are not included. Then, in terms of the change x due to the dissociation extent, we are able to rewrite it as shown below:

1.8x10^{-5}=\frac{x*x}{0.100-x}

Thus, via the quadratic equation or solve, we obtain the following solutions:

x_1=-0.00135M\\x_2=0.00133M

Obviously, the solution is 0.00133M which match with the hydronium concentration, thus, answer is: 1.3×10⁻³ M in scientific notation.

Regards.

If an isotope of an element has 40 neutrons and a mass number of 79, how many electrons must it have?
34kurt

Answer: 39 electrons

Explanation: Subtract 79 by 40 to get the atomic number (amount of protons) which is 39. The number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons if it's not an ionic compound so the amount of electrons is the same amount of protons.
