Describe the appearance of table salt at the macroscopic and atomic levels

1 answer:

3 0

Table salt is sodium chloride mixed with small amount of potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodide (NaI) or sodium iodate (NaIO₃).
Atomic level - sodium chloride (NaCl) has crystal cubic structure (lattice-type arrangement) with ionic bonds. Sodium is cation with charge 1+ and chlorine is an anion with charge 1-.
Macroscopic level - table salt is colorless crystal, soluble in water with high melting and boiling temperature..

In the absence of sodium methoxide, the same alkyl bromide gives a different product. Draw an arrowpushing mechanism to account

hoa [83]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, cause you are not providing the structure. However, I found the question and it's attached in picture 1.

Now, according to this reaction and the product given, we can see that we have sustitution reaction. In the absence of sodium methoxide, the reaction it's no longer in basic medium, so the sustitution reaction that it's promoted here it's not an Sn2 reaction as part a), but instead a Sn1 reaction, and in this we can have the presence of carbocation. What happen here then?, well, the bromine leaves the molecule leaving a secondary carbocation there, but the neighbour carbon (The one in the cycle) has a more stable carbocation, so one atom of hydrogen from that carbon migrates to the carbon with the carbocation to stabilize that carbon, and the result is a tertiary carbocation. When this happens, the methanol can easily go there and form the product.

For question 6a, as it was stated before, the mechanism in that reaction is a Sn2, however, we can have conditions for an E2 reaction and form an alkene. This can be done, cause the extoxide can substract the atoms of hydrogens from either the carbon of the cycle or the terminal methyl of the molecule and will form two different products of elimination. The product formed in greater quantities will be the one where the negative charge is more stable, in this case, in the primary carbon of the methyl it's more stable there, so product 1 will be formed more (See picture 2)

For question 6b, same principle of 6a, when the hydrogen migrates to the 2nd carbocation to form a tertiary carbocation the methanol will promove an E1 reaction with the vecinal carbons and form two eliminations products. See picture 2 for mechanism of reaction.

Many monatomic ions are found in seawater, including the ions formed from the following list of elements. Write the Lewis symbol

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The Lewis structures are in image attached.

Explanation:

Lewis symbol is a representation of an element symbol along with its valence electrons around it in the form of dot(s).

Mono-atomic ions formed from the following :

(a) Cl

Chlorine's atomic number is 17 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Cl=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

$Cl^-=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

(b) Na

Sodium's atomic number is 11 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet. In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as sodium has lost its 1 electron.

$Na=1s^22s^23p^63s^1$

$Na^+=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(c) Mg

Magnesium's atomic number is 12 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electrons to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as magnesium has lost its 2 electrons.

$Mg=1s^22s^23p^63s^2$

$Mg^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(d)Ca

Calcium's atomic number is 20 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Ca= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

$Ca^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(e) K

Potassium's atomic number is 19 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 1 electron.

$K= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

$K^{+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(f) Br

Bromine's atomic number is 35 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Br=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^5$

$Br^-= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

(g) Sr

Strontium's atomic number is 38 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Sr=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^2$

$Sr^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^0$

(h) F

Florine's atomic number is 7 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet.

$F=1s^22s^22p^5$

$F^-=1s^22s^22p^6$

A student prepares a aqueous solution of butanoic acid . Calculate the fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form

ella [17]

Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵

Then;

C₄H₈O₂ --------> C₄H₇O₂⁻ + H⁺

I 0.54x10⁻³ 0 0

E 0.54x10⁻³(1-x) 0.54x10⁻³x 0.54x10⁻³x

Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation

From the ICE table;

Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]

1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)

1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x

1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

Hence;

0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0

x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation here;

x = 0.154 or −0.182

Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154

Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%

Determine the electron geometry, molecular geometry and polarity of tecl6.

Delvig [45]

The electron geometry of TeCl6 is octahedral, while the molecular geometry is octahedral, non polar.
Octahedral geometry or six electron pairs is the basic geometry for a molecule containing a central atom with six pairs of electrons, such as TeCl6 or SF6. As we replace bonding pairs with non bonding pairs the molecular geometry changes to square pyramidal to square planar.
