Draw a lewis structure for hccl3. Show all unshared pairs and the formal charges

Chemistry
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation :

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

The given molecule is, HCCl_3

Carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electron and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HCCl_3 = 1(1) + 1(4) + 3(7) = 26

According to electron-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.

The electron-dot structure of HCCl_3 is shown below.

Now we have to calculate the formal charges on carbon, hydrogen and chlorine.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on carbon}=4-0-\frac{8}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on hydrogen}=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on chlorine}=7-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as ________ understanding the reaction?
777dan777 [17]
Hello!

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as Stoichiometrically understanding the reaction.

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The first to talk about stoichiometry was Jeremias Benjamin Ritcher, who said that "Stoichiometry is the science that measures the quantitative proportions or mass ratios of chemical elements that are involved in a chemical reaction".

To calculate how much of a product is produced in a reaction, Stoichiometry is used, applying the law of conservation of mass. That means that the amount of product can be calculated from the amounts of reactants if they are known.

A community consists of all the organisms in an ecosystem that belong to the same species.
choli [55]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A community consists of all the organisms in an ecosystem that belong to the same species. Population density occurs when two or more organisms seek the same resource at the same time. A carrying capacity is anything that restricts the number of individuals in a population.

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
