What is the formal charge on the hydrogen atom in hbr? use the periodic table as needed?

1 answer:

3 0

A covalent bond is formed between H and Br
The structure of HBr is as follows
H —Br
Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.
Formal charge can be calculated as follows ;
Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons -( number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)
H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons
Formal charge of H = 1 -1 -0 = 0
H has 0 charge

A hydrocarbon is a compound that contains mostly carbon and hydrogen. Calculate the percent composition (by mass) of the followi

Shalnov [3]

Answer: The percentages of carbon and hydrogen numerically to four significant figures is $83.33\%$ and $16.67\%$ respectively.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the compound is the mass of 1 mole of compound which is the sum of masses of each element.

Mass of 1 mole of compound= mass of carbon + mass of hydrogen+ = 5(12) + 12(1)= 72 g.

a) Percentage by mass of carbon = $\frac{\text {mass of carbon}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %$

Percentage by mass of carbon = $\frac{60}{72}\times 100\%=83.33\%$

b) Percentage by mass of hydrogen = $\frac{\text {mass of hydrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %$

Percentage by mass of hydrogen = $\frac{12}{72}\times 100\%=16.67\%$

Why is measuring the size of an atom difficult

vlada-n [284]

<span>Atomic size is the distance from the nucleus to the valence shell where the valence electrons are located. Atomic size is difficult to measure because it has no definite boundary. The electrons surrounding the nucleus exist in an electron cloud.

The mass fractions of a mixture of gases are 15 percent nitrogen, 5 percent helium, 60 percent methane, and 20 percent ethane wi

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass fraction N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : 15 : 5 : 60 : 20

mole fraction N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : 15/28 : 5/4 : 60/16 : 20/30

mole fraction N₂ : He : CH₄ : C₂H₆ : : .5357 : 1.25 : 3.75 : .67

Total mole fractions = .5357 + 1.25 + 3.75 + 0.67 = 6.2057

mole fraction of N₂ = .5357 / 6.2057 = .0877

mole fraction of He = 1.25 / 6.2057 = .20

mole fraction of CH₄ = 3.75 / 6.2057 = .6043

mole fraction of C₂H₆ = .67 / 6.2057 = .108

Partial pressure = total pressure x mole fraction

Partial pressure of N₂ = 1200 kPa x .0877 = 105.24 kPa

Partial pressure of He = 1200 kPa x .20 = 240 kPa

Partial pressure of CH₄ = 1200 kPa x .6043 = 725.16 kPa

Partial pressure of C₂H₆ = 1200 kPa x .108 = 129.6 kPa

Convert 27.7 kilometers to centimeters.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2770000 cm.

Explanation:

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 meter = 100 centimeter

1 kilometer = 100*1000 cm

1 km = 100000 cm.

then,

27.7 kilometers = 2.77 × 10^6 centimeters

So, 27.7 kilometers = 27.7 × 100000

= 2.77 × 106 or 2770000 centimeters.
