Carbon monoxide atoms have two different ions Cu + and Cu2 + .such atoms do not obey the octet rule .

thats it :)..

Carbon has four electrons and oxygen has six. If only one bond were to be formed between C and O, carbon would have five electrons and oxygen 7.<span>To complete the carbon and oxygen octets in CO, we must employ a triple bond.Even though there is no completion of octet rule.

Hydrogen chloride and oxygen react to form chlorine and water, like this:

leva [86]

Answer:

Kp = (Partial pressure H₂O) . (Partial Pressure Cl₂)² / Partial pressure O₂ . (Partial Pressure HCl)⁴

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

4 HCl (g) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2 Cl₂ (g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Kp = (Partial pressure H₂O) . (Partial Pressure Cl₂)² / Partial pressure O₂ . (Partial Pressure HCl)⁴

Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.250g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.180mm in diameter.. How far does the merc

Helga [31]

1) You need to get volume of both temperatures by using first attached formula V= Mass/Density $V_1 = (3.250 g)/(13.596 g/(cm^3)) = .2390 cm^3
At 25 degrees C (V_2e have:

V_2 = (3.250 g)/(13.534 g/(cm^3)) = .2401 cm^3$

2) Using the second formula you get the height of 0 degree
$h = V/(pi * r^2)


h_1 =(.2390 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 939.2 cm$

(radius in cm is $(0.180 mm) / 2 * (1 cm)/(10 mm) or .009 cm$

3) Then with h1 you can easily get the height of 25 degrees
$h_2 =(.2401 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 943.5 cm$

Subtract 943.5 cm - 939.2 cm, and obtain a rise in mercury height of 4.3 cm
