Formal Charge is calculated as, Lewis structure is attached below,

Formal Charge = [# of valence electrons] - [electrons in lone pairs + 1/2 the number of bonding electrons]

# of valence electrons of Cl = 7

electrons in lone pairs = 4

number of bonding electrons = 6

Formal Charge = [7] - [4 + 6/2]

Formal Charge = [7] - [4 + 3]

Formal Charge = [7] - [7]

Formal Charge = 0

Result:
Formal charge on Cl in ClF₃ is zero.

If an object has a density of 0.55 g/mL, what is its density in cg/L?

otez555 [7]

if 1 g is equal to 100 cg

then 0.55 g are equal to X cg

X = (0.55 × 100 ) / 1 = 55 cg

The density of the object is 55 cg/L.

A. Based on the activation energies and frequency factors, rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest reaction rate, a

deff fn [24]

Answer:

A) $E_{a} = 350KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$

A = 1.5× $10^{-7}s^{-1}$ , A = 1.9× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$ , A=1.5× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$

B) 4.469

Explanation:

From Arrhenius equation

$K=Ae^{\frac{E_{a} }{RT} }$

where; K = Rate of constant

A = Pre exponetial factor

$E_{a}$ = Activation Energy

R = Universal constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

Given parameters:

$E_{a} =165KJ/mol$

$T_{1}=505K$

$T_{2}=525K$

$R=8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$

taking logarithm on both sides of the equation we have;

$InK=InA-\frac{E_{a} }{RT}$

since we have the rate of two different temperature the equation can be derived as:

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1} } -\frac{1}{T_{2} } )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{165000J/mol}{8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1} }.(\frac{1}{505} -\frac{1}{525} )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )$ = 19846.04×7.544× $10^{-5}$ = 1.497

$\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} }$ = $e^{1.497}$ = 4.469

How many electrons would an uncharged atom of nitrogen have

dybincka [34]

The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. In an uncharged atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. For example, carbon atoms include six protons and six electrons, so carbon's atomic number is 6.

Please help !!!!!!!!

Salsk061 [2.6K]

1) CH2 (gas) + Br (solid) -> BrC (solid) + H2 (gas)
2) a) CH4 + Br2 -> CH3Br + HBr
2) b) methane + bromine is substitution because one hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by one bromine atom. addition reaction takes place when one molecule combines with another to form a larger molecule so therefore a molecule from X and bromine combine to form XBr.
