Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that Lewis structures are drawn in order to show up the bonding among equal or different atoms via their valence electrons, since hydrogen has one valence electron, silicon four and phosphorous five, the most suitable way to draw and attain the octet for both silicon and phosphorous is by bonding them via a double bond, one hydrogen bonded to the phosphorous and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon as shown on the attached picture, wherein you can count eight electrons for both phosphorous and silicon.

Best regards.

Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. When mercury vapor is inhaled, it is readily absorbed by the lun

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

P = 0.0166 mm Hg

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the Clausius Clapeyron equation, which is a commonly used expression to calculate vapour pressure at a given temperature. We have the enthalpy of vaporization of the mercury, so, let's write the equation:

Clausius Clapeyron equation:

Ln (P₂ / P₁) = (-ΔHv / R)(1/T₂ - 1/T₁) (1)

Where:

R: universal constant of gases (8.314 J / K.mol)

P₂: Vapour pressure at 43°C (or 316 K)

P₁: Pressure of mercury at the boiling point (1 atm)

T₂: temperature at 43 °C

T₁: Boiling point of mercury (357 °C or 630 K)

As we are given the boiling point of the mercury, we can safely assume that the pressure at this point is 1 atm, becuase remember that when a sustance boils, is because it's internal pressure has reached the atmospherical pressure of 1 atm. With this clear, all we just need to do is solve for P₂. We are going to do this very slowly so you can understand the process. First let's replace the given data:

Ln (P₂ / 1) = (-59100 J/mol / 8.314 J / K.mol) (1/316 - 1/630)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (3.16x10⁻³ - 1.59x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (1.51x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -10.7338

P₂ = 10⁽⁻¹⁰°⁷³³⁸⁾

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ atm

We can express this value in mm Hg and it will be:

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ * 760

A six-carbon organic compound containing oxygen is suspected of being either a secondary alcohol or a ketone. which chemical or

White raven [17]

Following are the possible isomers of secondary alcohol and ketones for six carbon molecules. In order to distinguish between sec. alcohol and ketone we can simply treat the unknown compound with acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) in the presence of acid. If with treatment with unknown compound the colour of K2Cr2O7 (potassium dichromate VI) changes from orange to green then it is confirmed that the unknown compound is sec. alcohol, or if no change in colour is detected then ketone is confirmed. This is because ketone can not be further oxidized while, sec. alcohol can be oxidized to ketones as shown below,

33 protons 36 electrons 45 neutrons

Artist 52 [7]

As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.

It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.

It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.

33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons

The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.
