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.

recheck Fusion reactions power the in space. Humans currently use fusion in , but researchers are seeking more applications.

One: looks to be correct for both answers. Certainly the first one is. The second depends on your other choices. But military use is one.

Two: is correct. Pd has (in this case) an atomic mass of 114 and its number is 46

Three: Even with my slop numbers, 4.98 is the answer (although I get 4.99 but again, my numbers are pretty sloppy).

Four: Slop numbers say 78.3, but 78 is the right answer.

Five: Slop numbers agree with Al2S3. I think that's D

They are all correct. Very Fine Work.

Solving part-1 only

KMnO_4

Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)

Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn

Let's find how?

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1+4(-2)=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1-8=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x-7=0$

$\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x=+7$

x is the oxidation number

What is the pH of 15 mL of .2 M HCl

fenix001 [56]

Easy peasy! All we need to do is plug this formula into our calculator:

-log(M)

So, we'd plug in -log(.2), which is 0.7 :)

A block of iron has a mass of 150 g and a volume of 20 ml. What is the density of iron? *

shtirl [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 7.50 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of iron = 150 g

volume = 20 mL

We have

$density = \frac{150}{20} = \frac{15}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

In the formula XSO4 the symbol X could represent the element

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: X could represent the element of oxidation state (+2) such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, ....etc)

Explanation:

The formula of the compound XSO4 is a neutral compound that the algebraic summation of the oxidation states of different elements in it must be zero.

The group SO4 has the oxidation state (2-), that S has (6+) oxidation state and O has (2-) oxidation state, so the oxidation of SO4 = (6+) + (-2*4) = -2.

It is clear that X must have the oxidation state 2+.

So, X could be represents by many different elements such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, ....etc)
