electron dot structure

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.

  • The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
  • The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
  • The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
  • Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
  • It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
  • The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
  • It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.

When 1 mole of H2(g) reacts with F2(g) to form HF(g) according to the following equation, 542 kJ of energy are evolved H2(g) + F
topjm [15]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic. The value of q is  -542 kJ.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and  for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and  for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus H_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2HF(g) evolves heat , it is exothermic in nature. The value of q is -542kJ.

How much of a 0.250 M lithium hydroxide is required to neutralize 20.0 mL of 0.345M chlorous acid?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M

Explanation:

The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:

LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O

<em>That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid</em>

Moles of  20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:

0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = <em>6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂</em>

To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:

6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =

<h3>27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M</h3>
