Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidit
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Explanation:

Volume of NaOH = 1.7 ml = 0.0017 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0811 M

Moles of NaOH = n

0.0811 M=\frac{n}{0.0017 L}

n = 0.0001378 mol

H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

According to reaction, 2 mol of NaOH neutralize 1 mol of sulfuric acid.

Then 0.0001378 mol of NaOH will neutralize:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0001378 mol=6.8935\times 10^{-5} mol of sulfuric acid.

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample: x

x=\frac{6.8935\times 10^{-5}}{0.02 L}=0.0034467 mol/L

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Below is the Lewis structure of the hydrogen cyanide molecule.
lianna [129]

Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, HCN

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HCN = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Which subatomic particles had negligible mass and travels around outside the nucleus? A protons B neutron C electron D orbital ?
kap26 [50]
C. Electron. It’s a negatively charged particle that orbits around the nucleus. Usually, there are multiple electrons going around the nucleus in different orbitals (the circle around the nucleus in which the electron travels). The mass is much smaller compared to that of a proton or neutron and can be ignored when calculating the mass of an atom.
