The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.
We have to explain monochlorination.
Monochlorination is the process to introduce one chlorine atom in any organic compound.
Generally, monochlorination takes place by replacement of proton from organic compound. To do chlorination, Cl₂ or HCl is used as reagent.
Inntroduction of one Cl-atom in any organic molecule takes place through free radical mechanism.
The monochlorination of benzene is shown here:
Answer:
The pOH is 4, 44 and the solution is basic.
Explanation:
The pOH is a measure of the concentration of OH (hydroxyl) ions in the solution.
The pOH is calculated as :
pOH = -log (OH-)= -log (3.67 x 10-5 )= 4, 44. In this case, the solution is basic.
The p0H scale ranges from values of 0 to 14 (less than 7.0 is basic and greater than 7.0 is acidic, a pH = 7.0 is neutral)
