Answer:

The correct answers are: <u>Each oxygen of carbonate ion has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u>Bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion</u> = <u>1.33</u>

Explanation:

The carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is an organic compound, in which a carbon atom is covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The net formal charge on a carbonate ion is −2.

The carbonate ion is <u>resonance stabilized</u> and has three equivalent resonating structures, which exhibits that all the three carbon-oxygen bonds in a carbonate ion are equivalent.

In the resonance hybrid of carbonate ion,<u> the negative charge is equally delocalized on all the three oxygen atoms. </u>

<u>Thus, each bonded oxygen has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u />

In a carbonate ion there is one double bond oxygen (C=O) and two single bonded oxygen (C-O). Bond order of 1 C=O is 2 and bond order of C-O is 1.

∴ <u>Bond order</u> = sum of all bond orders ÷ number of bonding groups = (2+1+1) ÷ 3 = <u>1.33</u>

What mass of al is required to completely react with 25.0 grams of mno2?
horsena [70]
Mass of MnO2 = 25 g 
The reaction would be 3MnO2 + 4Al --> 3Mn(s) + 2Al2O3
 Molar mass of Al = 26.982 g/mol
 Molar mass of MnO2 = 54.938 + 2(15.999) = 86.936 g/mol
 Calculating the moles = 25 / 86.936 = 0.2876 mol.
 Mole ratio MnO2 and Al considering the equation = 3 mol of MnO : 4 mol of Al
 Calculating the moles of Al = 0.2876 mol MnO2 x (4 mol of Al / 3 mol of MnO)
 Number of moles of Al = 0.3834
 Getting the mass in grams as asked = 0.3834 mol x 26.982 g/mol = 10.34 grams.

If you count the number of electrons (small dots), you have the atomic number. In this case you have 11 so this atom is a sodium atom. Sodium has 1 valence electron (electron on the outer shell) and chlorine has 7. This means that if sodium gave one electron away and chlorine would obtain one electron, they would both have the (ideal) noble gas conformation (full outer shell).

The radioisotope phosphorus-32 is used in tracers for measuring phosphorus uptake by plants. The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 1
Harman [31]

Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

Indicate if the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F):
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) T

b) T

c) F

d) F

e) T

f) T

g) T

h) F

I) F

j) F

k) F

l) F

Explanation:

The w/v concentration is obtained from, mass/volume. Hence;

%w/v= 50/1000= 5%

In the %w/w we have;

25g/100 g = 25% w/w

In combustion reaction, energy is given out hence it is exothermic.

Neutralization reaction yields a salt and water

% by mass of carbon is obtained from;

8× 12/114 × 100 = 84.1%

All the ionic substances mentioned have very low solubility in water.

One mole of a substance contains the Avogadro's number of each atom in the compound.

There are two iron atoms so one mole contains 2× 55.85 g of iron.

Some sulphates such as BaSO4 are insoluble in water.

Halides are soluble in water hence NaI is soluble in water.

The equation does not balance with the given coefficients because the number of atoms of each element on both sides differ.

The equation represents a decomposition of calcium carbonate as written.
