Answer:

8 shared electrons

Explanation:

When you are looking for the number of shared electrons via the equation:

S = N-A

Where:

S = means the shared electrons

N = Needed electrons

A = available electrons

"Needed electrons" means how many electrons does it need to have a noble gas configuration, in this case, to complete the octet rule.

"Available electrons" means how many valence electrons is actually available considering the compound or the elements involved in the compound.

To get the needed electrons, treat the elements involved separately. We have a silicon (Si) atom and 4 chlorine (chlorine) atoms in this compound. Let's list it down first:

Number of atoms

Si 1

Cl 4

Next step is to determine how many electrons should it have in its outer shell to achieve the octet rule. Both of them in this case would be 8. Multiply that by the number of atoms and add up the needed electrons to determine how many you will need for this particular compound.

Number of atoms Electrons to achieve Octet Needed

Si 1 x 8 = 8

Cl 4 x 8 = 32

TOTAL: 40

This is now our N. N = 40 electrons

Next step is to determine how many we actually have. Your clue in determining how many valence electrons the atom has is the group. Silicon is in Group 4A, this means it has 4 valence electrons. Chlorine is in Group7A, so ths means it has 7 valence electrons.

So first we write the number of atoms again, then in the next column, you write down the actual number of valence electrons and multiply them. Sum it up to see how many electrons available in this particular compound.

Number of atoms Valence electrons Available

Si 1 x 4 = 4

Cl 4 x 7 = 28

TOTAL: 32

This is now our A. A = 32 electrons

Now we apply this:

S = N - A

N = 40 electrons

A = 32 electrons

S = 40 - 32 = 8

Number of shared electrons is 8

Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

ale4655 [162]

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

$=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

$=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$ , we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$ , one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

$= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

How does beta decay affect the atomic number?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The atomic mass number does not change because a beta particle has a much smaller mass than the atom. The atomic number goes up because a neutron has turned into an extra proton. Beta decay is fundamentally different from alpha decay. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons.

How many atoms are in 58.93 grams of cobalt (Co)?

Vadim26 [7]

If you have 58.93g of Co it means that you only have 1 mol (use a periodic table to find the answer, if you had more find it by proportion, it's easier).
There's 6.022 x 10^23 atoms per mol so you have 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of Co.
(once again if you had more mol, you could find the answer by proportions).

The isotope 106 46Pd (106 on top and 46 on bottom)

vazorg [7]

Answer:

4. 60 neutrons.

Explanation:

The given isotopes;

¹⁰⁶₄₆Pd

In this isotope, we can deduce that the mass number is the superscript and the atomic number is the subscript;

Mass number = 106

Atomic number = 46

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom;

Mass number = Protons + neutrons

Atomic number is the number of protons

So, Number of protons = 46

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

= 106 - 46

= 60

Number of neutrons = 60

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions: Write an equation that gives the overall equilibr

RideAnS [48]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions:

$CH_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_1$

$CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_2$

The net reaction is :

$CH_4(g) + 2H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + 4H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K$

Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant $K$ in terms of the equilibrium constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ . If you need to include any physical constants, be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.
