Answer:

B

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since carbon is in group IVA, it has four valence electrons so it needs four bonds to attain the octet. However, as carbon and bromine are bonded, carbon needs four bromines as each bromine provides only one electron for them to attain the octet as bormine has seven valence electrons for which it is in group VIIA. Therefore, the Lewis structure showing the four bonds and the seven free electrons of each bromine is B.

Best regards.

If a gas had a volume of 6.7 L and started at STP, what would the new pressure be
Phantasy [73]

The new pressure would be = 4.46 atm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

V₁=6.7 L(at STP, 1 atm 273 K)

V₂=1.5 L

Required

The new pressure

Solution

Boyle's Law  

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂

P₂ = (1 atm x 6.7 L)/1.5 L

P₂ = 4.46 atm

Half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution
Elena L [17]

Answer:

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

In reduction-oxidation reaction two reactions take place, one is oxidation and the other is reduction reaction. In an oxidation reaction, there is the loss of an electron whereas in the reduction reaction there is gain of electron occus.

Reduction reaction occurs on the cathode, in a reduction of water there is gain of 2 electrons to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution. half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution-

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

using the Bohr model for hydrogen: energy = hc/wavelength = 2.18 x 10^-18 Joules (1/nf2 - 1/ni2) N=15 to n=5
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Energy lost is 7.63×10⁻²⁰J

Explanation:

Hello,

I think what the question is requesting is to calculate the energy difference when an excited electron drops from N = 15 to N = 5

E = hc/λ(1/n₂² - 1/n₁²)

n₁ = 15

n₂ = 5

hc/λ = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸J (according to the data)

E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ (1/n₂² - 1/n₁²)

E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ (1/15² - 1/5²)

E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ ×(-0.035)

E = -7.63×10⁻²⁰J

The energy lost is 7.63×10⁻²⁰J

Note : energy is lost / given off when the excited electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level
