Reduce the following molecular formulas to empirical formulas. Please help!

Chemistry

zvonat [6]3 years ago

This is done by reducing each number by a common factor for each formula.

C3H6O6- all can be divided by 3 -> CH3O3 (you don't have to put a 1 for C, only if your teacher requests it. It is generally understood if not written)

H2O2- all can be divided by 2 -> H1O1 (had to put the 1's bc of the unintended language) 

C8H8S2- all can be divided by 2 -> C4H4S 

P5O15- all can be divided by 5- PO3

*****it is important to note that <em>all </em>numbers in the molecular formula are divided by the same thing to reduce them. decimals are <em>never </em>used in empirical formulas, only whole numbers.*****

Write the electron configuration for Br- and state the number of valence electrons. Select one:
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^62} 4s^{2} 3d^{10} 4p^{5} with 7 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Bromine has 7 unpaired (valence) electrons in its outer shell, and a total of 35 elecrons. Its <em>4s</em> orbital is completely filled with 2 electrons.

The closest answer from the options would be option D.

I hope this helps.

According to vsepr theory, the bond angle in h2se would be predicted to be:
ella [17]
The bond angle in H2Se would be predicted should be less than 109.5 degrees. Particle shapes can be anticipated in light of Lewis dab structure utilizing the VSEPR hypothesis. VSEPR remains for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. It expresses that electron matches in the valence shell of a particle repulse each other; their sub-atomic geometry is the consequence of this shock.

Calculate the density of a solid in g/cm3 if it weighs 38.3 kg and has a volume of 0.00463 m3.
RideAnS [48]

Answer: D=8.27 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is mass/volume. Mass is in grams and volume is in liters. In this case, the problem wants our volume to be in cm³. All we need to do is to make some conversions to convert kg/m³ to g/cm³.

D=\frac{38.3kg}{0.00463m^3} *\frac{(1m)^3}{(100cm)^3} *\frac{1000g}{1kg}

With this equation, the m³ and kg cancel out, and we are left with g/cm³.

D=8.27 g/cm³

Choose and explain:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a) (CH3)3N

b) 4-methylpyridine

Explanation:

Let us bear in mind that the basicity of amines depend on;

1) the availability of the lone pair

2) the stability of the conjugate acid of the amine.

In the gaseous phase, the basicity of the amine strictly depends on the availability of the lone pair. The tertiary amine is better able to accept a proton in the gaseous phase since it is surrounded by three methyl groups having an electron pushing effect thereby reinforcing the lone pair on the nitrogen. This order is reversed in solution due to solvation.

Here again, the electron donation to the nitrogen bearing the lone pair is important. The 4-methylpyridine is more basic than 2-methylpyridine to BMe3 due to steric hindrance that hinders the bonding of 2-methylpyridine to BMe3.
