If you would draw the Lewis structures of these atoms, you would see that A has 2 electron pairs and 2 lone electrons (that can bond). For B you’d see that you only have 1 electron that can form a bond. This means that 1 atom of A (2 lone electrons) can bond with 2 atoms of B. To know the kind of bond you have to know wether or not there will be a ‘donation’ of an electron from one atom to another. This happens when the number of electrons on one atoms is equal to the number of electrons another atom needs to reach the noble gas structure. As you can see, this is not the case here. This means that you get an AB2 structure with covalent character.

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:

In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:

Se = x

O = -2

x + (-2)*2 = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4.

Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.

In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.

Seawater has a ph of 8.1. what is the concentration of oh–?

lara31 [8.8K]

PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
pH can be calculated as follows;
by knowing the ph we can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 8.1
pOH = 5.9
pOH is used to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M
therefore hydroxide ion concentration is 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M

What volume of propane (C3H8) is required to produce 165 liters of water according to the following reaction? (All gases are at

inna [77]

Answer:

We need 41.2 L of propane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of H2O = 165 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2O

1 mol = 22.4 L

165 L = 7.37 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of propane

For 1 mol C3H8 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 4 moles H2O

For 7.37 moles H2O we need 7.37/4 = 1.84 moles propane

Step 5: Calculate volume of propane

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.84 moles = 41.2 L

We need 41.2 L of propane
