A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate, positioned in an arc shape as seen from above. Offshore volcanoes form islands, resulting in a volcanic island arc.

Write the Lewis structure for the following H20 So2

Tasya [4]

See the sketch attached.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Lewis structure of a molecule describes

the number of bonds it has,
the source of electrons in each bond, and
the position of any lone pairs of electrons.

Atoms are most stable when they have eight or no electrons in their valence shell (or two, in case of hydrogen.)

Each oxygen atom contains six valence electrons. It demands two extra electrons to be chemically stable.
Each sulfur atom contains six valence electrons. It demands two extra electrons to be chemically stable.
Each hydrogen atom demands one extra electron to be stable.

H₂O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It would take an extra 2 + 2 × 1 = 4 electrons for all its three atoms are stable. Atoms in an H₂O would achieve that need by sharing electrons. It would form a total of 4 / 2 = 2 O-H bonds.

Each O-H bond contains one electron from oxygen and one from hydrogen. Hydrogen has no electron left. Oxygen has six electrons. Two of them have went to the two O-H bonds. The remaining four become 4 / 2 = 2 lone pairs. The lone pairs repel the O-H bonds. By convention, they are placed on top of the two H atoms.

Similarly, atoms in a SO₂ molecule demands an extra 2 × 2 + 2 = 6 electrons for its three atoms to become chemically stable. It would form 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds. Loops are unlikely in molecules without carbon. As a result, one of the two O atoms would form two bonds with the S atom while the other form only one.

Atoms are unstable with an odd number of valence electrons. The S atom in SO₂ would have become unstable if it contribute one electron to each of the three bond. It would end up with 3 × 2 + 3 = 9 valence electrons. One possible solution is that it contributes two electrons in one particular bond. One of the three bonds would be a coordinate covalent bond, with both electrons in that bond from the S atom. In some textbooks this type of bonds are also known as dative bonds.

Dots and crosses denotes the origin of electrons in a bond. Use the same symbol for electrons from the same atom. Electrons from the oxygen atoms O are shown in blue in the sketch. They don't have to be colored.

When people walked on the Moon, they found that they could jump higher than they could back on Earth. Why is this true?

Allushta [10]

Answer: B

Explanation: the moon is smaller and contains less mass, therefore its gravitational pull is less than that of Earth's.

How many grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150. liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0. °C? Group

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

P= 1.00 atm
V= 150 L
n= ?
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$
T= 0 C= 273 K

Replacing:

1.00 atm* 150 L= n*0.08206 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *273 K

Solving:

$n=\frac{1.00 atm* 150 L}{0.08206 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273 K}$

n= 6.69 moles

Being Cl= 35.45 g/mole, the molar mass of chlorine gas is:

Cl₂=2*35.45 g/mole= 70.9 g/mole

So if 1 mole has 70.9 grams, 6.69 moles of the gas, how much mass does it have?

$mass=\frac{6.69 moles*70.9 grams}{1 mole}$

mass= 474.321 grams ≅ 474 grams

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

kp= 3.1 x 10^(-2)

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to write down the reaction and use the ICE table for pressures:

2SO2 + O2 ⇄ 2SO3

Initial 3.4 atm 1.3 atm 0 atm

Change -2x - x + 2x

Equilibrium 3.4 - 2x 1.3 -x 0.52 atm

In order to know the x value:

2x = 0.52

x=(0.52)/2= 0.26

2SO2 + O2 ⇄ 2SO3

Equilibrium 3.4 - 0.52 1.3 - 0.26 0.52 atm

Equilibrium 2.88 atm 1.04 atm 0.52 atm

with the partial pressure in the equilibrium, we can obtain Kp.

$Kp=\frac{PSO3^2}{PSO2^2 PO2}=\frac{(0.52)^2}{(2.88)^2(1.04)}=0.03135$

Fed [463]

Answer:

Heating water with an open flame

Explanation:

Remember, we are told in the label that Acetone is a "flammable liquid and vapor." Being flammable means the substance can easily be set on fire, and we would expect an open flame from heating water to trigger an explosion (a disaster) in which the Acetone is set on fire causing life-threatening dangers to the second group of students.
