Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula

Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)

a) for methylene:

Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0

b) For methyl free radical

Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0

When 20 milliliters of 1.0m hcl is diluted to a total volume of 60 milliliters, the concentration of the resulting solution is?

Ksenya-84 [330]

In preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively
c2 and v2 are the concentrations and volume of the diluted solution respectively
Substituting these values ,
20 mL x 1.0 M = C x 60 mL
C = 0.33 M
The concentration of the resulting diluted solutions is 0.33 M

An aqueous sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2 , solution is made by dissolving 0.395 mol NaC2H3O2 in 0.505 kg of water. Calculate the mola

liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molality:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (in kg)}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

Moles of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ = 0.395 mol

Mass of solvent (water) = 0.505 kg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=\frac{0.395mol}{0.505kg}\\\\\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=0.782m$

Hence, the molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

What is the mass of a 0.5 mol sample of C2H6?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer: 30.08 g/mol

Explanation:

C2= 12.01 H6=1.01

12.01(2) + 1.01(6) =

24.02 + 6.06 =

30.08 g/mol
