True [87]3 years ago

<span>Answer: 3 electron pairs Let's take BF3 for an example. When you find the valence electrons for this molecule --> [3+(3x6)], you'll get 24e-. You draw the Lewis dot structure and each of the F atom would have six dots around it (a total of 18 because there's 3 F atoms) and the B would have three lines [one line attached to each F. One line would equal to 2 valence electrons] and you get a total of 24 valence e-. The question asks how many groups are on the CENTRAL atom, meaning on the B. It would be three</span>

Predict the products for the following equation.
coldgirl [10]

Answer: AgCl + Fe

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

A general single displacement reaction can be represented as :

XY+Z\rightarrow XZ+Y

The blanced chemical reaction will be :

3Ag+FeCl_3\rightarrow 3AgCl+Fe

Why did you have to remove co2 from your partially neutralized stomach acid before the titration?
shutvik [7]

Answer is: carbon dioxide (CO₂) can affect the end point of the titration.

Carbon dioxide, or carbon(IV) oxide, reacts with water and form carbonic acid, which can affect the end point of the titration, because more base is needed for neutralization of partially neutralized stomach acid.

Balanced chemical reaction of carbon dioxide and water: CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃.
