Answer:
The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons
Explanation:
A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
This is a basic orbital diagram for carbon
Molar mass of water 18g/mol
Number of mols = 50.0g/18g/mol =2.78 mol
Heat absorbed = 40.7 kj/mol * 2.78 mol = 113.1 kj.
Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed.
What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?
Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate
has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double
replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.
The chemical equation representing the reaction is,
Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 +
BaPO4
