Which of the following is a correct lewis structure for sulfur dioxide, so2?

pshichka [43]

The correct Lewis structure of SO2 is the Lewis structure that shows all the 12 valence electrons in the molecule.

A Lewis structure shows the number of valence electrons on the valence shell of all the atoms in a compound. The electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of each element or a dash to indicate shared electrons in a covalent bond.

Looking at the Lewis structure of SO2 attached to this answer, we can see the twelve valence electrons in the molecule and how they are distributed around each atom as shown.

The gas in the piston is being heated, and the piston has moved upward. The observation will be summarized in a row of the incom

Nina [5.8K]

The student would fill out the second row, stating that the volume increases as the temperature increases.

This phenomenon is in accordance with Charles's law, which states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. All three of the gas laws are combined to form the ideal gas law.

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

dsp73

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

A buffer solution is made up of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (NaCH3COO). The major equilibria in the buffer system a

katrin [286]

The equilibria showing how the acetate buffer adjusts to addition of a small amount of NaOH is:

CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(1) → H30+ (aq) + CH3COO (aq)

<h3>What is a buffer?</h3>

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when small amounts of strong base or acid is added to it.

Buffers are made from solutions of weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

The equilibria showing how a buffer made from acetic acid and sodium acetate (NaCH3COO) adjusts to addition of a small amount of NaOH is as follows:

CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(1) → H30+ (aq) + CH3COO (aq)

Addition of NaOH, a strong base will neutralize the hydronium ion, causing the acetic acid ionization equilibrium to shift to the right to produce more of the acetate ion, the conjugate base.

Liquids do not have the energy to overcome the ___ and move to the gaseous state.

Ugo [173]

Answer - Inter-molecular attractions

Explanation-

As we know everything around us is made up of matter that means everything has molecules as their basic structure. The state of anything is decided by the spaces between the molecules.

The state of the objects that have strong inter-molecular attractions a solid and gradually the lesser will be in state of liquid and gas. The attraction between the molecules is overcome only when a certain amount of energy is provided from outside.
