The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of ZnO from Zn is lower than that of CO2 from CO. Therefore, CO cannot reduce ZnO to Zn. Hence, Zn is not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO
The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.
The correct structure is the following:
The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.
The answer to this problem is Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal.
Answer:
Explanation:
7 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms,9 NO2 atoms
7+6+9=22
2(22)=44
44 atoms
Answer:
1. <u>No, you cannot calculate the solubility of X in water at 26ºC.</u>
Explanation:
You cannot calculate the solubility of X in <em>water at 26 degrees Celsius </em>because you do not know whether the solution formed by dissolving the crystals in 3.00 liters of water is saturaed or not.
The only way to determine the solubility of the compound X is by dissolving the crystals in certain (measured) amount of water and making sure that some crystals remain undissolved, as a solid on the bottom of the beaker.
Next, you should filter the solution to remove the undissolved crystals. Then, weigh the solution, evaporate, wash, dry, and weigh the crystals.
Then you have the mass of the crystals dissolved and the mass of the solution which will let you calculate the mass of pure water, and then the solubility.
